Have been trying to make assets and screen/window design/layout for this app for hours, but they all come out awful.

What am I doing wrong????

The app in question:

anon you have to remember that gd is abt functionality. there's nothing wrong with this layout, it's readable, it doesn't feel crowded and it has pretty good composition

IDK what the capabilities of a pebble actually so if what I say next isn't actually possible then lol idk.

Solid white background with solid black characters is just ugly and hard on the eyes. Take the background down to a shade of grey, ideally place lighter grey and color text onto a darker grey background. That alone will make it a lot more pleasant to look at.
Next up is text consistency. Headings in bold, sure, but make 'Drink' and 'Gut' match 'Blood cafffeine' in style at least.

The bottom two bars being bolded as well might be OK once the headings are, too. But right now it's unbalanced.

>Solid white background with solid black characters is just ugly and hard on the eyes

it looks like the app is made for the pebble time which has a e-ink/e-paper display
these displays already have low contrast so lowering it even more will be overkill.
