App Design Clinic #7


This week in App Design Clinic #7 we reviewed 3 apps: SocketWorld (for finding and comparing plug types), Flashback (an entertainment app using Trackt) and Capitals (a game about capital cities).

For this session we covered questions such as
– First use prompting and introductions
– Margins and alignment
– App structure, linking from one part of your app to another

If you missed it, or want to watch it again, here it is:

 

 

Please send your questions and screenshots to
design@canonical.com by 1pm UTC on Tuesdays to be included in the following Wednesday clinic.

The next App Design Clinic will be in 2 weeks, on Wednesday 12th February.
