Week 8 Reading
This weeks reading was about iOS Human Interface Guidelines. The first tip to remember was to make sure the design works well for the interface which you are creating it for. People can tell if the application appears to made for a particular phone, so designing for that particular screen and type of phone is key.
Next you need to have a clear idea for whom you are designing the phone application for and what features it will offer. You app needs to be concise and can't go off into a million different directions.
Your app needs to have a consistent design and all little details need to be looked at to make sure everything blends together. The phone applications needs to include all necessary technologies; such as voice over or printing. Finally, all apps need some sort of their own artwork.
