Overview

"Many people continually make formal or informal resolutions to improve aspects of their lives. Although the goals may be set by an individual relative to his or her specific situation, many of the intentions actually apply to a larger body of people."  —Stacie Rohrbach (Project Prompt)

Taking this into account, our goal for this project was to inform our audience about their resolutions, engage with them, and inspire them to actually take action to achieve their goals. Our task was to design a three piece communication system with digital, print, and spacial components. I worked with Christie Chong and Carolyn Zhou to design a program that encourages healthy cooking and eating through social interaction.

We created Goodcook, a program in which friends would take turns cooking for one another. When we do things with others in mind, we are motivated to do well. Since our behaviors are heavily influenced by those around us, we are more willing to participate in activities when others do them with us. By being a part of a community that cooks food for one another, the motivation to cook higher quality healthier food increases. Below is the system we created to get people involved in this program.
