Takeaway design
Platforms with inbuilt functions, media and usecase structures is very common in system design these days. Website design and apps mainly.
​
Takeaway design is a defined way in design where the designers of systems uses platforms that comes with many built-in functions, designed media and usecases. Strengths, weaknesses and optimising the designer's interactions with such platforms. The takeaway design discovered techniques is used to design a number of food forage apps such as the yum food forage, ifo food forage and taro food forage.
​
HCI or human computer interactions are the interactions between the user and their devices. Previous focus are were based on studying how users hold their devices or press the buttons. A user that has disability or forms of hinderance means that they designing of the device and or softwares must take to account those extra specifics.
​
The takeaway design is based on the thinking and therefore interactions of the user and the device. What types of design techniques that designers use? What drives those designers to use those types of design? And how it impacts the user interfaces they produce because of their choice of design technique.

Step 1: Prep
Requirements, usecase and user interface design.
Preparation
All projects either start with a requirement sheet from the owner of the project or for a new idea.
​
In the case of the food forage app. The project requirement was given with the project.
​
The project requirement went through the interpretation phase. The interpretation of the requirement is used to create the usecase diagram.
