KalorieTrak App Redesign
UI Case Study • Figma • 2023
Project Brief
The goal with this project was to redesign the home screen of the calorie tracking app KalorieTrak to give it better hierarchy, make it feel less cluttered and make it easier to navigate. We were also given the task to reskin the diary screen to make it more visually appealing and have better hierarchy and usability as well.
User Personas & Flow Chart
Sketches
I sketches out three different variations of the home screen (left) and three different variation of the diary screen (right). I tried to remember the things we talked about in our flow chart and how we would move through the app. I tried to explore different variations and ways to make the design more visually interesting and engaging.
Wireframes
I made simple wireframes to get my sketches into digital form. I started the basics of the design but mostly was just starting to explore more of my design idea and block out more important aspects of my design.
Original Design
Below are the original design of the KalorieTrak app. As you can see there is a lot of text and ads on this design making it hard to engage in and not the easiest to navigate.
Early Drafts
I made a lot of changes and refinements to my designs throughout the design process. I was able to get feedback from my teachers and some peers about how to better improve my design. I made a lot of changed from my original wireframe and what I thought I wanted my design to look like in the beginning. I was able to bring some iconography into my design to make it more visually interesting. I know users skim and don't like reading so I tried to keep text and work to a minimal and use more visual aspects but not overpower the design with images.

Draft 3
Draft 4
Final Draft
I made a few final changes to my design mostly to the dairy page and how I wanted to use to be able to view the food they logged for that day. I wanted there to be an overview of the amount of calories they viewed for that food but then a more detailed look in the drop down menu. I also focused on unifying the design by finalizing and unifying the colors for my design. I chose a gradient from yellow to orange and implemented it in the more important aspects of me design. I am pretty happy with how this turned out and all the changes I made to get this design where I wanted it and looking professional in a short amount of time.
