Making the app

Posted on by

I had a fairly simple idea in my head of how I wanted my app to look. The app would look more similar to the poster, as it would have the same sort of perspective, although it would have more information on as it would be interactive.

The app uses many of the same elements as my other designs. It will have the triangle with the drop down information when the user clicks on it. It will also have the information about each planet and some instruction on how to use the app at the bottom.

These are my three ‘pages’ of my app so far. I decided not to make a ‘page’ for every planet in the solar system as they would all look fairly similar.

I incorporated the facts about each planet, which would only appear when that planet is on the screen, as this would keep the continuity between the app and the website.

App and poster ideas

My main idea for my app would be fairly similar to that of my website, to keep some continuity. It would still involve the space-time warp and bending the grids but the user could expand the size of the planet until it reached the size of the next one, where the information would change and tell the user about the planet on the screen. For example, the smallest planet (not including Pluto) is Mercury. The initial screen would say a bit about Mercury, the same information that will be on the website. The app user would then drag out from the middle of the planet and the planet would expand until it got to the size of Mars where the information would change to that of Mars and so forth.

The perspective will change on the app, rather than have it all disappear off into the top right hand corner, the grid will disappear into the background about halfway up the screen. The planet will then sit in the middle of the screen and the information about it will be below.

 

Again, I wanted to keep some continuity between my three designs so I decided to go for the same theme for my poster. My poster will consist of one planet in the middle with the grid bent around it, proportionate to how much its mass would bend it. I don’t think it will have the information about the planet on the poster but instead will just say some information about the space-time warp and maybe promote the website and app.

I think I will change the perspective for the poster but have it fairly similar to the app.
