Shrewd Snacking

Based off the Pygmy Shrew from the region of Ireland

The Pygmy Shrew is a tiny animal with a high metabolism. That means it has to eat it’s own body weight in food everyday to survive. A Pygmy Shrew will starve to death if unable to eat within 4 hours. “Shrewd Snacking” is an app created for people (who much like the Pygmy Shrew) eat a lot of snacks throughout the day or just love snacks in general to be able to connect with each other. 

Unlike the Pygmy Shrew humans won’t die if they aren’t able to eat within 4 hours, but some of us do die a little bit inside when we reach in the pantry for that bag of chips only to discover we ate them all. This is especially hard during the COVID-19 quarantine as we can’t run to the grocery store at any hour of the day to refill on snacks. We also can’t enjoy hanging out in the kitchen at parties or standing in the concessions line at literally any event ever. “Shrewd Snacking” is designed to connect the snack connoisseurs in Ireland by creating a place to share favorite snack recipes, the best time to eat certain snacks, filling snacks, light snacks, quiet snacks, loud snacks, sweet snacks, savory snacks, what to do when you’re out of snacks, all things snacks.

Progress

This the concept of my app including colors, fonts, logo, and different sections of the app. The name of my app is Shrewd Snacking and it is based off the Pygmy Shrew. The colors are inspired by Irelands colors and the color of the water. 

This is the logo for my app. It is inspired by the Celtic knots/culture in Ireland and incoroporates the chosen decorative font.
