Final Critique & Comments

Is there correct contrast or does it feel like a print design?

I believe so, I created this app using the correct color modes but I also designed it so that all the app files can be easily converted to a CMYK print design mode for use in publications and adds. I did this thru the use of greyscale gradients that were set to modify appearance that helps blend print errors and interpolation of eps print files. This app is also using a font that is easily replicated by most print systems and offers readability on both light and dark substrates.

Did they design using boxes or was there a unique design/

I designed using a uni-grid that was mapped to a 32 collum set up so that the exported artboards could be viewed responsively so that the app could be resized to any and all smartphone screens and most tablet screens. I tried to include a safety guide on the creation of the basic layout to prevent the inclusion of widows and orphans as well a prevent any major cut off or overprint of an element in an arrangement failure.

Signal and cue? (do you know where to click)

My use of Active symbology and visual inputs helped with the creation of the app and allowed for a, very ease of use of User Experience when using my app.

Touch target?

I designed my app to have multiple touch target areas that are easily labeled and very symbological; that any icon recognizable & that there isn’t much left in the mode of assumption for a user to interpret randomly.

Other thoughts related to what we learned this semester?

I feel the first half of the semester is proceeding well and I feel I am well off in the class.

Final Comments from the Designer

I created this design mainly to satisfy an idea that I had come up with over summer and hope that my visual design and interpretation are welcomed in the field. I hope to design more app concepts as my ideas take flight from my pen to the paper I write upon.
