Is there any app can know what I have, and what I can make from what I have?
Yes, Patisserie at home is design for this moment!

By using this app, you can build up your digital data of your kitchen store, every time you search recipes, result show those you can make from your kitchen store, so search, find the one you love, then go baking!


Style:  

Reduce the information in per page became my main design work, the result is when use images view, then will not have text at this same time, by using portrait and landscape to change from images base view and text base view.

One more step in solid colour block -  from pure solid colour block to subtle gradience. This result nicely in give more breaking for flatten design.

larger, larger text and click area - this app will corporate with moving action (reading at home, finding ingredients, baking), it better to make text larger enough that can read by a gaze. Large click area speed up the interactive with human finger.

Recipe reading - a paper base design use in recipe reading, instead of pain white background. I found paper texture help human eye read comfortable, so decide to add this texture in this mainly flatting design. I believe combine the good thing in  "flat" and "texture" is a good way to go.

It's at home - During the design I always keep that this app is using at home, select color and icon redesign to fit more home instead too office.


Extra:

If this app had been developed, ideally it will  be a cloud base store app, this will keep the app size small, and login by cloud account which mean can check and research cross devices.

An app for this wish




I feel happy to know that I'm not the only one have this problem.
Lots of app make recipe digital files, but need a app to stored ingredients , then search recipes that use your stored ingredients. 

The app with have a ingredients management system (input/delete);

another management system to collect and store recipes;

Then share these data to search recipes.

Maybe a sweet top: Mark the one you have made and love.

Modern-minimalist engage to the app

Minimalist from architecture
Try to bring a bright space, clean line, thick and warm tone, breathing with plant and sunny.
This will be a good look and feel for the app.














App look and feel research #2

App is for kitchen, at home.
I like the app to bring a look and feel to match a kitchen and home feel, specially in a sunny or grey weekend day, which is best mode for baking stuff:) So I do some research on kitchen interior design research. Most pretty kitchen colours are no more than 3:

White(base tone)+Steel(hight light)+Black(decorate)

Cream White (base tone)+wood(hight light)+black(focus)

Wood (base tone) + Green plan (hight light) + white(decorate and soft the wood tone)

In this tidy clean relax space, fill some colourful books, varies shape of pod, same set of tin with food tone ingredients.
