Initially I found this task very daunting as app/ web design is something I have never done before. Despite this I ended up really enjoying it and it is definitely something I want to do again in the future. In terms of the branding for the app I only spent about 1-2 hours doing this as to not waste time, however I really like the logo and colour scheme I managed to produce. I really struggled when it came to merging the illustrations into the app as initially they weren't very consistent with the design and it took me a long time to decide on the style to use. When I got over the hurdles that occurred the design process was very smooth and I got a lot of positive feedback along the way in terms of the design looking sleek and simple. One of the biggest things that I had to bare in mind when designing was to not make it over complicated for the user as I didn't want to put them off baking when the app's main purpose is to encourage them to fit it into their busy schedule.
Overall the most time consuming thing of the whole process was learning how to use new creative cloud apps such as Xd, as well as features I had never used on things such as photoshop. However, the workshops put on at uni were very useful and helped me make a pretty basic video of the app in motion. I am pleased with how the app has turned out and believe that with more time to develop it further it could be a very useful app, however I am satisfied with the point I am at and think it is a very well developed and well designed app considering the short time scale we have had to create it.
