Week 7 Readings


I found the iOS Human Interface Guidelines to be very helpful when laying out the concepts for our iPhone app project. I find it interesting how specific Apple is when setting out specifications for app developers. This makes sense since Apple and the apps all have a very similar feel. What I found really useful was how to go about conceptualizing the app based on what the user needs to accomplish. I found that having this as a starting point really helped with decisions of what were the primary task and what we would need to incorporate into the app for the user to have a successful experience. The element user guidelines really helped with how the look of elements needs to be consistent to fit within the Apple feel. The custom icon and image creation guidelines really help to take a lot of the guess work in term of what elements need to be sized to and how they will be incorporated into the app.
