Tan Shin Yih (0334900) Experiential Design & Personal Project 1 Week 1 For the first class of experiential design & personal project 1, Mr. Mike brief us about the module and told us that we will have a collaboration project with RMIT students. He also explains to us how the collaboration will be going on and what we need to do for it. For let us understand more to the project we need to do, Mr. Mike also asks us to visit the previous work of RMIT student ( http://rmitdmcc.com/2018/ ). Mr. Mike also sends a survey to us to know everyone specialization so it would be easier to split the group later. We also being told to work with the Australian students for 2 weeks, and we will need to come out of a prototype by this 2 weeks time. We need to work with the RMIT students by this 2 weeks time from 10 am to 6 pm at CODA if we don't have any classes to attend. Before class ended, Mr. Mike brief us for a one day trip with the Australian students by next week ...

At first, I come out with two ideas, one is a tutorial of the cooking app and another one is fitness.
IDEA 1: How to do things ( Cooking )
An app that provides step to step instructions to teach people how to cook, allowing people to see what other people making and share their recipes.
social media food sharing ( user can share their own cooking experience and also the recipe with other users)
the user can rates, comment and pay tips for all recipe
food recipe update every day ( breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drink, vegetarian, side dishes, diet meal )
provide cooking tutorial full video or step by step
provide ingredients list, the time is taken for each food and also people can check the nutrition for the food
the user can add their own favorite list recipe
there are also food article for the user to watch

IDEA 2: Fitness
An app that provides appropriate meal plans for people who's on a certain workout, and point-accumulating system based on the distance you walk per day and some daily workout for you to refer and challenge. It also provides information about running events from all over the country. Sports and foods related vouchers can be redeemed by accumulating enough points through this app.
Healthy food recipe

During week 3, Mr. Razif introduces us a website to us to break down our idea then he will come to discuss with us our idea one by one. I choose the first idea which is the cooking tutorial app. After I show the ideas for Mr. Razif, he told me that this idea actually quite boring because nowadays already have a lot of app like this. He told me that it is hard to make a perfect general app for me for this period. Then, he gives me an example. If your boss now asking you to make a social media app like Facebook, that suitable for all people. As a designer and developer, you need to make all the feature that Facebook provides. Besides that, you still need to add a special feature to your app to attract people to use your app. Why not just focus on making something that usable by a small group of people or an age group of people? Mr. Razif also recommends me to make a cooking tutorial app that only needs 5 ingredients. He says this will be very convenient for some people that don't have a lot of ingredients in their house. I also shared my idea with my classmate, one of my friend that came from another country also tell me that actually she also using a cooking app for her meals. Then, I came out with a new idea, which is a cooking app that provides the recipe for one people only. I found that actually people hard to decide what to cook for just one or two people. Like me, sometimes I just wanted to have my meal alone at home, but then don't know what to cook, so straight cook maggie.
How to do things ( cook app ) Dine Yourself
An app that provides the recipe for student / single use with simple steps or simple ingredients. ( healthy & budget ) The cooking tutorial video provides for people they wanted to enjoy their ME time at home alone.
Specific Target audience: Student who like to cook and dine in.
Specific Goal: Provide video tutorial and the recipe for the student who likes to cook or dine in
Simple recipe/ meal for 1 person ( breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drink, vegetarian, side dishes, diet meal )
How To-videos explain basic tips and tricks in the kitchen
Set your favorite food and allergic food and recommend the personal recipe
Recipe scheduling for easy meal planning and also reminder
Then, Mr. Shamsul asks us to start with the prototype for the usability testing.
At first, I do the wireframe in this style, but Mr. Shamsul said that this mode will be more like a information of teaching the user how to use the app.
Then, I change the style into black and white and continue work with the prototype. At first, I planned to use the paper prototype to test the usability test, but there is a lot if step for a paper prototype, so I change to using Adobe XD to create the prototype.
Here is the progress of the prototype.
I also have a usability test with a graphic design student, then she gives me a really good question to improve my app as she said my app looks simple and direct, easy to understand, but then go to the profile section, I put the profile inside the favorite site. That is an inconvenience for the user as people are always want to edit their profile. I did some changes to my design after collecting the comment.
Then, I also start to design my logo for my app "Dine Yourself".
Presentation Slide
On week 10, we have a presentation on our app design.
Here is the part of my design for the cooking app.
