The first piece that I wanted to look at was the Kinesis (iPad App). The idea for my Capstone revolves around connecting with those around you, and I feel that this app not only has a clean interface, but shows a way for users to connect with one another in an efficient way while maintaining an organized flow. The UI is sleek: including the typography, colors, and layout, clearly utilizing a grid system to keep things organized. As I come up with prototypes for my app, I want to keep this app in mind, as it allows for an easily understandable, yet innovative piece of technology. The designer, Christine, did an excellent job of creating a "brand" and keeping it consistent throughout the creation of her app.
The second thesis I wanted to look at is a short entitled Kaleidoscope. What immediately stood out to me was Austin's first line to the description: "Kaleidoscope was the craziest project I've ever finished." Talk about an attention grabber. Of course, I was intrigued, and was not displeased when I scrolled down to see extravagant image of imaginative animation and video creations. One thing to note is that this piece took 2 years to create, whereas our Capstone allots 20 weeks, this is quite different. Furthermore, there was a team that worked on this project, and as a part of my app, I want there to be a tool to allow users to collaborate with one another, to create works of art like this with one another. The footage contains a lot of warm, soft glows while the animations are extremely colorful and unique. As someone who is interested in entering the film world (as a graphic designer), this was something that peaked my interest and kept my focus where it needs to be.
