Cute Costume Dress Upapplication

We started this assignment as a simple project

As it developed we plan to take it to the next step, making a legitimate application to be published to the App Store in the following weeks

We learned a lot for developing and designing for the mobile platform as a team

Challenges

Design Challenges:

Designing for kids (younger audience) with out alienating any group (IE: gender, age, etc.)

Using in a new style (out of comfort zone)

Creating layers for Drag-and-Drop interface

Continuity of theme

Simplicity for Mobile Screens

Challenges

Programing Challenges:

Converting images to bitmap for quicker response times

Z-index sorting was a challenge, to ensure proper layering

Streamlining for Mobile’s low hardware specifications

Becoming familiar with CS5 iOS

General Frustrations of learning throughout this project

Our Design Process

Genius and User Centered

We went by our own knowledge and research about kids games and create a prototype.

Then through user-centered design we fine tune our design and overall product through testing on groups of kids.

We will ask the kids questions and allow them to talk about what they are thinking about the game and what they are trying to do. We will take note on areas of pain and areas that most or all kids use naturally.
