Progression



















Prototype view



I used photo manipulation to create the loading screen and I used Adobe Photoshop to create the prototype. To view the prototype, I used the 'Invision' web browser. I researched some apps similar to my app before I create it. 
For example: Grab Food, Food Panda, Lazada
Mainly i looked at the delivery part of these apps.

I have done some changes while I was doing the coding. Such as buttons and navigation.



Feedback for the assignment

Feedback 1
When I explained my previous app (mobile app1), the lecturer suggested focussing on one thing because it is hard to cover all foods. Such as focus only on food or beverage.

Feedback 2
The lecturer said that my app looks so messy. Especially, the home page. And he said to come up with new icons too.  He told to redesign the app. 

Feedback 3
The lecturer told me to keep spaces between buttons and type places and add back shadow to the leader, add opacity to the login and sign up part.

Feedback 4
The lecturer suggested to change the background of the loading screen, use photo manipulation for the loading background page. moreover, look at how the Lazada follows the flow of the order. 


Observation
I realized I was stuck in some of the pages and spent a long time to figure out it. And I couldn't create some of the things the way I wanted. 
overall, my time management is bad and took a long time to create pages for this module.
