DESIGNING YOUR APP!

  • Draw 3 rectangles (like a phone screen)

  • Choose something you would like to make your app about!

  • Layout out the three (3) screens

  • Include arrows that indicate it clicked the screen would change to what?

REMEMBER! You will use this layout for the remainder of the Quarter!

(PS. Don't use the example to the left...please make your App your OWN!)

DESIGN TOOLS HELP!

Watch the video for tips on design tools!

SEARCH FOR IMAGES

Now SEARCH online (Google or Bing) to find images to use for your app!

Once you find an image, right click on it and SAVE IMAGE AS to the APP DESIGN folder on your desktop or on One Drive!

(Hint: you created this folder in Lesson 2...when we found an image of a Cat)

TIPS:

  • Remember to be specific! Finding what you want takes time.

  • Look for clear/clean images.

  • File types... .jpg or .gif or .png work best!

  • Remember that they MUST be relevant to your app!

  • Find at least ONE different image per screen (minimum 3 screens)

  • Note: The Home Screen will probably have more images!
