2. DESIGN PROCESS Apple's Six Simple Rules - Modified From http://mashable.com/2012/12/20/spun-ios-design/ 1. Determine what problem you are trying to solve 2. Model a real object 3. Do a few things excellently 4. Reward each touch 5. Don't quiz user 6. Use subtle details to give users clues 7. Spend the time to make a quality prototype
3. DIRECTION Show content, not controls Not necessarily hierarchical, exhaustive, mutually exclusive Have interface or background indicate: nature, herbs, growing Support iOS 5.x +
4. DIRECTION Three worlds, reachable by an ever present bottom row tab bar or segmented control World 1: Dynamic Dozen (pictures) World 2: Links to Ellen's website (thumbnails of destination) World 3: TBD: Recipes or Herb Details
6. WORLD 1 Dynamic Dozen (pictures) Carousel, Cover Flow, Page View, Grid of Pictures (Collection View) PSCollectionView, MGBox2, GMGridView, HGPageScrollView
7. WORLD 2 Links to Ellen's website (thumbnails of destination) Use same layout as World 1 Background is consistent but recognizably different Throw to Safari; build own browser; or use open source mini-browser (SVWebViewController, e.g.)
8. WORLD 3 TBD: Recipes or Herb Details Vague and undefined Use same layout as World 1
9. NOTES (1 of 2) Extensible (can add World 4, etc.) All worlds need to be viewable with same layout Show Ellen's logo In each world, selecting an item takes you to detail information about that item
10. NOTES (2 of 2) Backgrounds same gradient and texture but recognizably different color, for example App reopens to whatever World it closed on Adds movement and life to a static interface
