I was tasked to create a booklet and an app prototype about something I'm passionate about. I am gluten-free so I decided to focus on gluten-free restaurants in the San Diego area. This project challenged me to work with Adobe XD, create a strong visual hierarchy across all platforms, and integrate typography into an app and book.
Breaking down the book
For my book, I knew I wanted to use pastel colors and retro elements. These photos showcase my color palette and the overall “vibe” of the book. I wanted to make my text vibrant yet legible. I wanted the book to remind readers of an organic, healthy lifestyle.

Focusing on the app
I started my app prototype by looking at other popular app interfaces. Instagram for the feed and Yelp for how food was displayed. I wanted my app to be interesting to look at, have fun interactive elements, and make gluten-free users lives just a little bit easier. If users don’t know what they want to eat, they can take a quiz to find their next delicious meal!
