iPhone Application: 'Space'

____This was a 48-hour project for an interview, to create a working iPhone application based on the theme 'Space'. This could be taken in any direction (eg. outer space, personal space, etc) and had to be put together on the The App Studio's special iPhone creation system.

I decided to create an outer-space estate agent, that sells property on other plants for those wanting to relocate somewhere out of this world..

There's loads of things that, given more time, would have been altered, but the ideas were there and was a lot of work for what was less than 48 hours in total (minus the sleeping).

The main button

The 'Splash' Screen for my app, followed by the main homepage, which each icon clickable to take you to that planet.
With more time, I would have made the icons larger and easier to press (average fingerprint size), and obviously with more icons, planets larger and easier to navigate.

Pluto and Moon pages.

Earth and Saturn pages.

May have had a bit of fun Photoshopping the About Us and Contact page..
Created the buttons myself using various Photoshop tools including the look as if they've been actually pressed.

I completed a small book to keep my development work together, starting with some research.

Display Work

____As I have just recently left Downtown in order to pursue a career in Graphic Design, I thought it a good idea to upload some of the photographs of the work that I did whilst there :) Mostly display work but with odd bits of graphics and vinyl work in the mix.

My final display, promoting Gardening, Spring.. and what was April showers (umbrellas) although it was a little late. I did however want to promote the Laura Ashley umbrellas (shown hanging) as they had unusual jagged edges to create a leaf shape.
