Week 9

After our last full group meeting and looking at the prototype that Jorge has been working on we decided to make a few changes to hopefully make our application even better and more functional. The first change is more for visual modification: moving our Woah, Slow, Go icons from the right of the menu item to the left. We also decided to make these icons clickable with a pop-up window of healthy suggestions to make a Woah or Slow food into a Go food.

The second change involves more a strategic decision to urge people to choose Go foods when eating out. We decided that when a restaurant menu is open we would list Go foods first so that individuals would be persuaded to choose these items first.

Lastly, our assignments for this week are to keep working on finding pre-teen/teen educational apps to inspire our own design and think of general recommendations to turn foods healthy (for example asking for skim milk in coffee drinks).
