Title: Use Figma tool to Design a user interface for a recipe finder application, allowing users to
search for recipes based on ingredients, categories, and dietary restrictions. Include features like
recipe details, cooking instructions, and saving favorites.

Prerequisites:
Human Computer Interface and Design Thinking

Objectives:

• Use Figma to design a user interface for a recipe finder application that allows users to
search for recipes based on ingredients, categories, and dietary restrictions.
• Include features like recipe details, cooking instructions, and the ability to save favorites.

Outcomes:
• Better understanding of user needs and goals
• Improved communication and collaboration
• More effective user testing
• Increased user satisfaction

Software and hardware Requirement:


Windows and Figma Tool
Theory:

1. Planning and Research

• Define the User Personas: Identify who will use the app (e.g., home cooks, health-
conscious users, people with dietary restrictions).
• Understand User Needs:
o Easy search functionality (by ingredients, categories, and dietary preferences).
o Detailed recipe information (ingredients, cooking instructions, nutritional info).
o Ability to save and organize favorite recipes.
• Competitor Analysis: Look at existing recipe apps like Tasty, Yummly, and AllRecipes
to understand their design strengths and weaknesses.

2. Feature Definition

• Search Functionality:
o Ingredient-based Search: Users can input available ingredients to find matching
recipes.
o Category Search: Search by meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner), cuisine,
difficulty level, etc.
o Dietary Restrictions: Filters for vegan, gluten-free, low-carb, etc.
• Recipe Details Page:
o Recipe image, name, and description.
o Ingredients list with quantities.
o Step-by-step cooking instructions.
o Nutritional information (calories, macros).
• User Features:
o Saving Favorites: Option to save and categorize favorite recipes.
o User Profile: Access saved recipes and dietary preferences.

3. User Flow and Wireframing

• Create User Flows:


1. Searching for Recipes: Home Screen → Search → Filter/Sort → Recipe List →
Recipe Details.
2. Saving Recipes: Recipe Details → Save to Favorites → Access from Profile.
3. Managing Profile: Profile → View/Update Dietary Preferences → Access Saved
Recipes.
• Wireframe the App:
o Use Figma to create low-fidelity wireframes for key screens:
1. Home Screen: Search bar, popular recipes, categories, and featured recipes.
2. Search Results Screen: List of recipes with thumbnails, names, and key
details.
3. Recipe Details Screen: Recipe image, ingredients, instructions, and save
button.
4. Profile Screen: User preferences and saved recipes.

4. High-Fidelity UI Design

• Create a Visual Style Guide:


o Color Palette: Choose a primary color (e.g., green for healthy eating) and
complementary colors for accents and backgrounds.
o Typography: Select fonts for headings, body text, and buttons that ensure
readability.
o Icons & Graphics: Use relevant icons for categories, dietary filters, and actions
(e.g., save, share).
• Design Key Screens in Figma:
1. Home Screen:
▪ Include a prominent search bar with placeholders like “Search by ingredient
or recipe name.”
▪ Display featured recipes with attractive images.
▪ Provide quick-access buttons for categories (e.g., “Breakfast,” “Vegan”).
2. Search Results Screen:
▪ Display recipes in a card format with images, name, and basic details (prep
time, servings).
▪ Include filters for categories and dietary restrictions at the top.
3. Recipe Details Screen:
▪ Large recipe image at the top.
▪ Tabs for “Ingredients” and “Instructions.”
▪ Button to save or share the recipe.
4. Profile Screen:
▪ Display user information, dietary preferences, and saved recipes.
▪ Option to edit profile and preferences.

5. Prototyping in Figma

• Create Interactive Prototypes:


o Link screens to simulate user flows (e.g., clicking on a recipe in the search results
takes you to the Recipe Details screen).
o Add interactions for buttons (e.g., save recipe, go back to search results).
o Use Figma’s prototyping features to create a realistic navigation experience.

6. User Testing and Feedback

• Conduct usability testing with a few users to identify:


o Ease of navigation and search functionality.
o Clarity of recipe details and instructions.
o Effectiveness of the favorites feature.
• Collect feedback and make necessary adjustments to the UI design.

7. Showcase and Presentation

• Create a presentation in Figma to showcase the final design.


• Include slides for:
o App Overview: Brief introduction and key features.
o Visual Style Guide: Color palette, typography, and icons.
o Key Screens: High-fidelity mockups of home, search results, recipe details, and
profile screens.
o Interactive Prototype: A clickable link to the Figma prototype for a hands-on
experience.
• Optionally, create a mockup video to demonstrate the app’s functionality.

8. Submission

• Submit the Figma file with all screens and the prototype link.
• Include a document or presentation summarizing your design process, user research, and
final design.

Conclusion: You can create a comprehensive and visually appealing UI design for a recipe finder
application that meets user needs and enhances their cooking experience.
