Our goal for this week is to have a basic prototype ready to send out for testing via Testflight by the weekend/beginning of next week. So far Eoin has a wireframe version of the menu (based on the wireframe designs of the previous post) working on the iPad and is currently working on navigating between […]
Since the beginning of our project, we’ve been in contact with Victor Donnelly at DeCare Systems in Cork. DeCare Systems produce a huge amount of apps, so it’s great to get some more feedback from industry. Victor has been very generous with his time so we really appreciate it! We met on Friday to catch […]
We have changed our name! Our app will now be called Blend. The blog has changed url to https://blendtheapp.wordpress.com, Twitter is now @BlendTheApp and our Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/BlendTheApp
To progress with production, we really needed to get our wireframes finalised and get going with coding these up and adding artwork, then get the app on to the device and get testing. Wireframes have been completed, hurray! We were originally considering a three part (12 column grid) but decided on a 16 column grid […]
We decided to arrange meetings with the other supervisors for this week, as we haven’t really checked in with them outside of the sprints since before the summer, so we just wanted to get some more feedback and general advice from them. We’re aiming to have the app on the device by Friday. Charlie can’t […]
We met with our tutor, Charlie, last Friday. This year the tutor system is different to previous years. Instead of having only one tutor for everything, we can speak with all of the lecturers as required regarding our app build, but with one main tutor assigned to our written report. This was our first meeting […]
Visually, the app has been through a lot of changes so far. We’re working hard to ensure that the artwork works both aesthetically and functionally. The version above is our current iteration. It uses a chalkboard, typographic and illustrative styles which you may remember from our moodboards at the beginning of the project. The thought […]
We created our original user personas after a lot of research in the requirements and design phases of our project. At that stage we had three personas. However we’ve revisited this based on two main factors: our app has changed significantly since our original user modelling (mainly due to user feedback) and through speaking to […]
We had our Sprint 1 presentation last Thursday 5th September, so spent the time leading up to this preparing for this. This was a chance to run through the work we completed over the summer, get some feedback and outline our plan for Sprint 2. We were asked to present under a number of headings: […]
