What's Left - Final Code


Application

I have made my code into a powerpoint with button. It shows exactly how my concept would work if it was really on the front of a refrigerator.

Four Categories Finals





Final main page


Four Colours

 



With different backgrounds




Out of all these patterns I like the bottom one. It is simple and doesnt take your eye away from the wheel. The middle two are to full on and distracting. So I will now make the bottom pattern in 3 other colours.

Different Patterns





Am going to add background

Have decided I am going to add a background in. Just to add a bit more detail. I am going to code a simple pattern that is a different colour for each category. Will use either lines, rectangles or ellipses.

Change














Showing changes over time. I like the colours blue and green together. They stand out but not to much. I have kept it as the more a product runs out and space on the wheel gets closer to the outside. I know it doesnt seem logic but it draws the viewers eye to it. Instead of having it the other way around.

All four categories











Improved

This design is much better. Just over all looks better and is easy to read.

Separate Category

Original design of separate category. It shows what each product it but looks very plan and boring. Am going to improve it a lot.   



Main Page


Labels

Added labels in order to tell the viewer which food group is what.

Background grid



Putting a background wheel with everything at 100% allows the viewer to see how much is left of the product.

Make it more real and easy to read.

Using illustrator and photoshop I am now going to use that code and convert it into something that will look both appealing and also be informative. I am planning on adding logos etc to symbolize each food group and also adding in pages where one can view just each food group at once.

Changes over time


Three lots of Data

 




There different lots of 'data'. Shows the food product and the category it fits into. The number presents how much of the product has been consumed. 0 being non and 100 being completely gone.

Showing change

To show change happening as food products run out I will change the imput data. This will allow us to see have the application could actually look as it changes over time on the front of a fridge.

Data to code



Have managed to convert my data into this graph. My goal from here is to make it more visually appealing and she how far I can take it. Each section represents one food item.
