COOK HELPER
Purpose
Since the pandemic, the desire for cooking gradually developed. I designe this software aimed to help the people who does not how to cook. Later, I advance the software in order to serve people who want to cook better as well. The goal of the software is providing effective tools for users. The ultimate goal is allowing users to follow the tutorial without thinking.
User Research
In order to understand the possible users’ demands, I made the user research by doing contextual inquiry, conducting interviews, and creating personas.
Persona One
This persona is based on the possible users who cook a lot. However, when she trying to cook dishes required complex skills, she finds that she cannot just follow the recipes
Persona Two
This persona is based on the possible users who do not know how to cook. Alexander Martin is a rookie in cooking. and when he tried to cook, he finds that he cannot learn the fundamental skills from the tutorials.
Sketches & Prototype
Sketch 1
It is designed based on the idea that users need enough details and instructions both before cooking and during cooking. Arranging in this way, I hope to illustrate how to manifest a recipe for users with enough information. The design’s ultimate goal is to ensure that the recipe can be helpful and users can follow the instruction to cook a meal.
Sketch 2
This sketch focus on providing accurate recipes for users based on their requirement. Users can choose their preferred ingredients, genre, seasoning and even cooking skills, and the system will suggest the related recipes. It is designed to satisfy users’ individually preference, while users might struggle in finding new recipes.
Sketch 3
This sketch mainly focuses on the requirement of learning cooking from very basic level.
