Sketch 3 Josh: Mobile Design
The mobile design was designed with efficiency as top priority. During the decide phase, caregivers either search or get a random choice by selecting “Get Ideas”. This system allows a choice to be quickly made, either by knowing what to search for or being inspired by the ideas. Any dish that is selected can be shared so that the dish, ingredients, and shopping list can be sent to others, for example, a wife can send it to her husband to pick up groceries. The feedback system is a single vote for the meal and each major ingredient. Each child can vote +/-1, or 0 for an item and the total score is aggregated for the caregiver.
Sketch 1 Sarah: Basic design
This design was created to cover all of the basic points of ingredient selection, recipe finding, and feedback. From the main page, the parent can either look at/edit the food preferences of the children or search for a recipe based on the preferences of their children. The generated recipe list includes both new recipes and recipes that have been tried before (with their previous rating). After the parent makes the dish, the children can individually rate the recipe and the individual ingredients. The ingredient ratings will be pre-populated based on previous preferences, so the kids only have to rate the new ingredients.
Sketch 2 Sarah: More ingredient control
In this design, the caregivers have a lot of control over which ingredients they want to include in their dish. They can select ingredients based on each of the kids’ preferences, and choose to add new ingredients. On the screen with the recipe, the kids can rate what they thought and the caregivers see how to make the dish. The kids don’t have to rate the ingredients, they will automatically be put in their “will eat” section. If they specifically don’t like something, it is easy to return to the preferences page and change anything.
Sketch 3 Sarah: Design for illiterate users
This UI is designed for illiterate users, so must communicate the flow without words. The log in screen is a combination lock-- the user gets a random code if they click on the “???” button. The next screen has a tile for each of the children, and when they click on it it brings up symbols for the ingredients they like and don’t like. The parent can drag each ingredient into the “shopping cart” box, and from there create a recipe. After selecting ingredients, the parent is brought to the recipe screen where the UI takes them through symbolic representations of the steps. When they have completed this, they can give feedback, also symbolically.
Sketch 1 Tal:
This design is primarily a web interface that is geared towards caregivers. It has search functionality based on cuisine, with ratings for the dish from other users. Once the caregivers find a dish, they can see recommendations from other users, the ingredients and the recipe on how to make it. The feedback is basic, kids rate the dish from 1-5 scale using stars.
Sketch 2 Tal:
With this tablet interface the caregivers have an autocomplete search to search for specific dishes. They can also view recommended dishes and the favorite dishes of the entire family. Caregivers also have the ability to search by ingredient, and view the rating of each ingredient by person/total ranking for the entire family. By clicking on an ingredient they can see dishes with that ingredient, and by clicking on the dishes, they can see a list of ingredients and a recipe. The feedback system allows each child to provide feedback for each ingredient, and the overall rank is calculated based on the individual rankings.

Sketch 3 Tal:
This is a mobile interface, and provides a dish search feature with autocomplete. Once the caregivers select a dish, they can see a list of ingredients on a separate screen, so they can go shopping with a list. By clicking next, they can view the recipe for that dish. A child is able to rate the overall dish, and each ingredient in the dish, which happens automatically by rating the overall dish. In this design, the feedback is verbal rather than visual.

Sketch 1 Max: Stretch Design for Kids
This interface is a stretch to be used by children only. Pictures are primarily used to communicate to the users – there is little to no text on screens. The use of large circles throughout the design is meant to be a clear affordance for children so they know where they can click in the interface.
