TAPWORTHY MOBILE DESIGN
From first concept to polished pixel, learn to create a mobile app that delights. This full-day course teaches you to "think mobile" by planning and creating app interfaces in tune with the psychology, culture, ergonomics, and context of an audience on the go. You'll learn to conceive and refine an app's interface and user experience in tune with the needs of a mobile audience—and their fingers and thumbs. You'll explore the practical principles of mobile and touchscreen design using examples from all major mobile platforms.
Who it's for
This class isn't (only) for geeks. The workshop's interdisciplinary approach is appropriate for everyone involved in the app design process—designers, programmers, managers, marketers, clients. The workshop takes a hands-on approach to intermediate and advanced design concepts but requires no specific technical know-how. Experienced designers and newcomers alike will uncover the shifts in mindset and technique required to craft a great mobile app.
What you'll learn
The course will equip you to ask the right questions (and find the right answers) to make aesthetic, technical, and usability decisions that will make your apps a pleasure to use. You'll learn:
* the key elements of the mobile mindset and what your audience expects of your app
* the ergonomic demands of designing for touch
* strategies for crafting your app's visual identity
* techniques for introducing your app to your audience
* how to work with gestures
* how these rules apply (or don't) to the iPad and other tablet devices
