To tackle this, I designed a prototype relational database system that organized the raw data into logical, searchable relationships. This database fed into a web-based application that allowed team members to quickly search and filter through the data to find exactly what they needed. The goal was to make the information both accessible and easy to understand, without losing any of the depth of the research.
Given the project’s time and budget constraints, we opted for a straightforward user interface. I selected a calming dark blue and gold colour scheme to create an air of focus and professionalism. The UI was kept clean and uncluttered, ensuring users could concentrate on the data itself, with each entry linking to the relevant foods and chemical compounds.
