Done with app

I handed inn the app last Tuesday. I am quite happy how the app turned out, I wanted to do something creative, something that would challenge me, and I believe that I succeeded in doing that. However in my seek for new challenges and new ideas I kind of forgot the most important part of…

Colour

In this post I’m going to speak about my colour choices. Menu and the basic colour I have chosen to use purple as my basic colour, that is the colour that will represent the app. So all arrows, menus, and different symbols that are about the app will be that colour. The reason to why…

The seatbelt quiz and the seatbelt facts

So I’ve been working on the seatbelt quiz. I did run into a small issue where I couldn’t touch the answers as I wanted it to, and get a respons, like a correct symbol up. I googled a bit, and tried different things, and after a while I finally figured out how to do it!…

The menu and name

So, I’ve been working on how I should have my menu. I had a couple ideas and I kinda just put them in Indesign to see how they worked out. I found out that I liked my last idea best, so it looks like I’m sticking with that. Here is what I tried at least.…

Serious Business Meeting

Tonight I had a meeting with my host sister, Sarah (9). I asked her to give me some advice on apps for children, and what she wanted to have in an app that was about seat belts. She was reluctant at first, as she thought it sounded boring to have an app like that, but…

Apps for kids

Since I’ve looked at different PIFs for kids, I started reading tips and about apps that were for kids. I read (https://eggplantdigital.cn/best-practices-for-designing-ipad-apps-for-kids-2/)  article and found a lot of useful tips. Like that I should use size 14 in fonts, and to not include a lot of swipe features, mostly just buttons. One should also not…

New Idea and planning the content

Today I tried to sketch a bit more, but found it rather difficult. I was thinking, and thought that perhaps I should know more concretely about what I’m going to have in my app, before I decide how it should look. I’m not sure how I’m going to do it. The problem is that you…

App Reaserch

Today I’ve been looking at different app design’s and reading tips to get my app to look better. I;m trying to avoid getting to specific about my ideas for the design of the app, as we are getting more information on Thursday when we go to the fire station, however, looking at all these different apps…

Sketches

Another thing I have done today is putting a couple of my ideas down on paper. I’m not the best at drawing, so please bear with me on these as I shall try to explain it. Before/After idea I came up with this idea after watching one of the indesign tutorials. I’m thinking that I…

Indesign Tutorials

Today I’ve watched two indesign tutorials by Terry White, he is great at making these and is really good at explaining. I’m already quite comfortable in indesign so I didn’t really want to watch them, but now I’m very happy that I did because I got some great tips that I didn’t know about! How…
