3 Things I didn’t know about Apple HIG

1. Onboarding with Launch time, I normally see a splash view when I go into apps, and I never realized that Launch time to get in touch with new users or tell what’s new to old users has become a new thing.
2. Feeback, I notice the status information in my mail inbox but I didn’t realize that it was implemented in other kinds of apps to make users know what’s happening in the app subtly in the toolbar.
3. Colorblindness, most of the time I design according to the theme but now I realized to consider all user’s vision.

Food App:

For my food app project, I am creating an app called Baby Balanced to solve the problem that my sister is having with her 9 months old son who appears to be underweight.

The app will assist mothers to balance their baby’s food intake, featuring a meal planner, a lot of recipes that will give the number of calories the baby needs and a tracker to observe the pattern of food intake for her child.

---

My name is Franky Wang, I started my career as a designer in Beijing, China. During my past several years of study, I have been trying to break myself from traditional culture atmosphere through the trend of modern art and design.

I have a strong awareness of designer’s social responsibility, especially when they are playing a role to lead a better life for people. In this case, I managed to create works for the public which could be both educational, and creative.

APP map assignment

I created a food APP called DishExpo, in which users can take photos of their favorite dishes from restaurants, post it and recommend it to other users. By editing the simple information of the dish and the restaurant, every user becomes a dish referral. Because of people’s appreciation for elegant looks of nice dishes, the APP in return gives users a direct choice purely according to the photos of dishes.

3 things I didn’t know from the Apple HIG or the Material Design Guidelines

1 – Three Navigation Styles

+++Hierarchical Navigation

One choice per screen until reaching a destination. (Setting and Mail)

+++Flat Navigation

Switch between multiple content categories. (Music and App store)

+++Content-Driven or Experience-Driven Navigation

Move freely through content. (Immersive apps like games)

2 – Branding and iOS APP design

Make the app feel like an iOS app. Ensure that it’s intuitive, easy to navigate, easy to use, and focuses on content. Avoid displaying a logo throughout the app unless it’s necessary for providing context. This is especially important in navigation bars, where a title is more helpful.

3 – Resting Elevation of Material Design

All material objects, regardless of size, have a resting elevation, or default elevation that does not change.

How you determine the elevation of objects – their position in z-space – depends on the content hierarchy you want to express and whether an object needs to move independently of other objects.
