Application Concept [Define]

23 pages now, still going strong with a head goal of 30-35 in total by the finish line! Two will be missing from here until I finalise some things.

These took so much longer then intended. Photoshop 2015 and Windows 10 are not working very well together. It took so damn long, between crashing and lagging out and possible fixes, compatibility. Never again.

Pages 16 + 17 were written about on the proposal post for the ClouB idea. I won't be reposting them here. We'll start from 18...

Out take of Concepts [Part 3]

18 - Made to define the purpose of the App. The functionality of it, what it's purpose is. How it should look visually. The problems, the resolutions. The general breakdown of what I want the App to do before I start designing.

19 - Branding ClouB is a big part of the app and the system itself. What will people look at and think 'That means ClouB'. I took a brainstorm of different word associations., icon ideas, styles, to brand ClouB

20a - Icon designs. How the user is going to primarily interact with the application, and how the results are going to be defined and categorized! I saw a few main visualizations between each area and picked the one more commonly thought of by my small audience at home.

A little harder to see on the digital pages, 20b on the left, 21b on the far right.

20b - A compilation of the icons created in illustrator between myself, and friend Finley. Various setting icons, and the brand logo itself! the c and B in a cloud shaped format.

21a - Interface design! Something I've never properly attempted before. Various concepts of how the results and main menu's should be put together. Inspiration from Apple, Microsoft and Steam. Among other applications.


21b - A bunch of mock ups of the designs I preferred from the previous page. Still need some notes and tweaking before a final outcome is delivered. I personally liked the bubbles but getting it to look right was difficult. I wanted a style of living moving bacteria. The graph is a preferred option chosen by other people.

The next page will include the final refine of the Application Design, and all the prototype pages. Including a semi-functional one using Invision! A little excited.

This App Design has given me a break to look at the project from a different angle. I feel like it's going to enhance my final outcome by hand in date.

State of the Art - Draft [Week 7]

One Soul Focus!

The dispair of reports. I can be a good writer, but finding the specific research to include in this 1,500 word report was.. Difficult.

I won't put too much here, just a few break downs for the essay. Helping out anyone who needs it?

What is it? A State of the Art Review.
So this report is an impersonal record of all recent technology and such that related to your innovative idea. For my idea, it would be the likes of medical devices and smart homes, new sensors and mobile apps. A big combo of the lot.

Even though my idea is of futuristic context, all these things are relative to me research now, and help me speculate a future scenario for my idea.

I've always learned to write a essay, or report by breaking it into sections. My sections for the Review are: 

Technology, Medical, Biological, Design.

This made it a whole lot easier to write. I set about putting my research into these 3 sections, then writing about each of the major points relating to my project. Indirectly.

For Technology

I looked at the likes of Smart Homes, amBX Light Scene-Engine specifically. The only two areas of technology that really related to my idea being a home system for a family user.

For Medical

The Medical area is diversely changing over recent years because of all the new technology we can start to enhance. My prime focus is to merge the area of medical and technology without the complicated bits! I looked at Fitbit - A medical smart watch. Beddit, sleep tracker, and The Smart Health Watch (With no updates due to lack of knowledge of advancing technology and what the user wanted.)

For Biological

This has one simple to focus on area. The Bacterial Cloud. An old concept that has only recently been properly, scientifically tested. The future of personalizing a human being. It's currently being looked at for a more forensic future. Solving crimes and what not, but my approach is more diverse. More creative. An extension of a person. Something to be ours.

For Design

This was an area looking at various innovative designers and how they've combined the likes of Medical-Technology, or Environment-Technology in recent years. The inspiration. What people can do using what we have now, so what could we do in future? This was more a section personalized to my project, and it won't have much of a part in the final review. It'll still get written for a post here probably!
