Add a bit to spice with Visual Design - Day 3

in

No, I have not become a visual designer overnight, I find it complex to understand what goes into the color scheme of a design. It is easy for me to express my thoughts on what looks good but, I cannot figure out how to make something good.

I found this article useful to get a head start in my pursuit to be a color guru someday.

For the app, I looked to purchase the best visual design possible and for now it happens to be this one 

Noway

I like the dark theme in this along with this being a really neat templates. I will be using the following screens from the design 

 

I will customize this screen for my login with a video running not he background

I will use this for signup and registration. The background video in the first screen should keep running in the back

I will use this with little modifications as my menu screen

I will modify the collection we see here to be a table cell with movie poster to create the main feed screen

I have my work cutout tomorrow to modify the elements from this design to look like the wireframes I created yesterday. I am spending 45$ on this template.

The design smells nice - Day 2

in

Design is a complicated art and all my experience in building mobile apps just allows me scratch the surface. I still made an effort today to come up with some wire frames. Here are my thoughts

  1. As a developer I think too much when I design, I am already thinking about the solution and it kinds of clutters my mind a lot
  2. I have to keep telling myself it is just to give shape to whats in your head.
  3. AdobeXD has been a great tool for this. The 9.99$ investment looks to be useful for now. I found this  template for wireframes. Looks cool too
  4. I have come up with 6 screens for now, the main ones are;
  5. Landing screen - I want a background video floating on it with the registration and login options on the bottom. I will need to get some stock footage for that
  6. Registration - keeping it simple right now with Email only option as facebook or google could be added beyond the MVP
  7. Movie Feed - I wanted to have larger posters but, kind of sucks that no one gives you access to these in their API's. I want to keep information simple for now
