FLESHING OUT APP DESIGN

-

 




  • I know I am not fully competent with Adobe After Effects so I looked up some graphic designers on youtube to see the best way to mockup my app prototype. 
  • A lot of videos came up with tutorials for Adobe XD which was designed specifically for app and web mockups. 
  • After downloading the programme, I started fleshing out the app design on it. It worked in a very similar way to Adobe Illustrator so for the designing part it was quite easy. Being able to copy components from one page to another made it quick to put together. Plus, this made it very uniformed working on one screen and later being animated all onto one screen without moving between apps. 
  • The wireframes were a good basis to work from however, it was not until I started designing the pages that I realised to make a good prototype, a lot of elements were missing, some as simple as a 'back' button and login pages etc. 
  • I kept the typeface from the logo design (Helvetica Bold Oblique) as consistency across the pages, using different typestyles and fills for the various sections. 
  • Similarly, the grid system and background were consistent throughout apart from the 'Listen' song pages which I justified earlier because those pages are meant to be unique to the song. However, the grid system and type were still present. 
  • The application of the logo design within the app worked well and successfully complemented the other designs.

"Featuring meticulously cut coloured glass" which are usually tall and arched windows (lancet) or round (rose). Often taller than the windows typically seen in churches. The idea is to let in technicolour light.  It is also known that these windows frequently feature tracery, which is decorative stone support. Pointed arches Another identifiable feature is the pointed arches. These are found in most places of worship i.e churches and cathedrals. It is suggested that the pointed style of these arches was taken from Islamic architecture rather than the typical Romanesque buildings found typically in Europe. The idea behind the shape of these wind...

In order to understand the texts related to Gothic architecture, I really need to understand the terminology as I aforementioned when looking at the previous text. I will be listing definitions along the way to better understand. Also, if my designs will have an informational aspect, it would be better to use this terminology or synonyms at least for whatever target audience I choose.  (All within the context of Gothic Architecture) Pointed Arches  Large pointed arches typically found on the Gothic buildings, also seen in many places of worship Large Stained Glass Windows Hugely associated with churches and cathedrals but, also a key feature in Gothic buildings  Ribbed Vaulting  There are a few different types of vaulting, ribbed vaulting is the one most commonly associated with Gothic architecture. It is an integral structural element to support these large buildings.  Flying Buttresses A similar feature is flying buttresses. They also act as an extra support f...
