Canopy Extraction Calculation Mobile Application

This project has been really exciting, it has given me a good look into mobile application development and the importance of planning the app's requirements. It's made me appreciate the time and effort that gets put into these good mobile applications we use daily. I enjoyed working with the SQL databases trying to efficiently store data and easily retrieve it. As well as the design aspect, I wanted to keep the design simple. I stuck with blue and white for the app since it contrasts well and the different shades of blue help separate sections. In addition, these colours are colour blind friendly since they are none similar and in my research did not clash or merge with all of the colour blind types that I had looked at.

I designed the UI so that the user can easily access most functionality with one hand. Keeping buttons where appropriate towards the bottom of the screen so their thumb could easily get to it, like the main screen. The focus was for accessibility to give the user limited required actions to complete their task. Furthermore, to continue this accessibility I included info buttons throughout the app so if the user does not understand the functionality or meaning they can click the button and a dialogue window will display with additional information.
