Designing a Responsive Web Application
AN APPLE A DAY
My first foray into creating a responsive web app as an assignment for CareerFoundry, An Apple A Day is a holistic, personalizable health tracking app. Below are a few of its first iterations including the evolution of the design, user interviews, and research analysis.
A Healthy Look
What looks refreshing, healthy, natural, and appealing? I started with blue, red, and green and then simplified. By the end of my first unit, I had a lone tree with apples. Then I realized that the connection between things, whether visible or not, is the thing that makes this app special, so I went with something new that looks like a constellation.
USER RESEARCH
The next iteration
The logo and design evolved as my understanding of user needs and opportunities did. I saw there were not many holistic apps that provided advice and also tracking, and recognized that understanding the connections between their behaviors and their health outcomes is exactly what users wanted to see.
