I was contracted to do the full implementation of iPhone application in close collaboration with Lawrence Botley of DanTek. I also adviced the design of the REST interface on the server that the application uses to talk to the backend infrastructure. The design was delievered iteratively by an external designer as plain Photoshop files which I used to generate the app’s graphical artefacts.
Special emphasis was placed on the appeal of the app to younger people. Not only did it have to have a colorful and cheerful appeareance, it also had to be animated fluently. During development I made sure that the animations didn’t show any lag or stuttering to let the user experience the app as fast and responsive.
