This week Whitney and I worked on the first issue of the Vox Weekly iPad app. I am currently on hour 14 of work and am still not done. As much work as it is, I actually like iPads. You have more freedom in your work space and have more options for how to set up pages. It is a lot of fun, but since we are the first group to produce an app we have hit some snags. For example, some templates were incorrect and set us back a bit, but overall it has been a great experience. I am still not done working, but here is an example of a contents page that is currently in progress:
I wish I had more to show, but we are still working on completing the application. I promise next week I will have more! All I can say for now is I am running on 4 hours of sleep, still have an app to finish, 3 covers to design and am just praying I get some sleep.
Hey Jordin! Thanks for being the first to design the iPad application. It looked like a ton of work and I feel for you that it took so long to do. That being said, it was really helpful to hear you and Whitney explain the problems you had and give us some feedback. I know a lot of us were feeling overwhelmed at the thought of designing the whole issue, but that you did it twice and worked out the kinks really helps the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteBreathe now, you did it!
This reminds me of how much work goes into making things look effortless. Good thing your fellow designers appreciate the time you clearly put it. I know this isn't the final version, but it looks really good. Nice work, especially for taking on the guinea pig role!
