Assignment: Design a digital 'gift' to give to people when they buy a full music album. Solution: I chose to use Jimmy Buffett's greatest hits album because he is a musician with a fun and devoted following. I chose to create a cookbook app because Buffett's concerts are known for the pre-concert parties that include cooking and mixing drinks. The idea is that this program can be used on a phone, tablet or P.C so the fans can throw a party where ever they are.

The recipes are broken down into four categories: Gumbo, Burgers, Margaritas and Boat Drinks. Each category is the focus of at least one of Buffett's songs. Because there is such an extensive list of recipes the table of contents on the phone app is broken into two levels.

You are throwing a party and have decided to make three recipes from this app. All three share several ingredients and you are not looking forward to going through all three to add up the shared ingredients. Don't worry. The Shopping List Generator has your back. Simply enter what recipes you want to make and how many people you are entertaining and the app will calculate how much of everything you need. This lets you make sure you only need one trip to the store.
