Designing Your Own App

Exercise: Design Your Own App

The task is to design your own app – start from scratch and create your own design.

Your app could be:

• an alarm clock app for your family
• a sports app, where you can track and measure your activities
• or just an existing app from your phone

When you design your app, think about the following aspects:

• the layout/format of the app
• the size of the buttons and input fields
• the direction of reading
• the advantage of working with turntable paper – make it comfortable for yourself to sketch
• don’t go into too much detail, like writing a lot of text in your design. Just use lines for text and dashes for numbers to give the impression of content in your app.
