HOW ARE MOBILE APPS CHANGING THE WORLD?

These are tremendous times to be in. Our entire world is encircled by the
usage of the mobile applications. People’s daily routine revolves around the
mobile apps. Mobile Applications play a dominating part in today’s world. They
have become an integral part of one’s life and it has become really hard to live
without these apps. People are getting addictive to them as these apps make
our life a lot easier.

Mobile apps have invaded every area of our life and business like
entertainment, gaming, paying bills, travelling and or whatever an activity one
can imagine. Mobile phones have become a lot cheaper now-a- days which
have resulted in the increase in the number of mobile users. Not only the
mobile apps have penetrated in our life but it has also altered every aspect of
the business world.

Integrating several needs of a business into an enterprise mobile app is not an
easy task. Mobile app developers work side by side with businesses and
provide them the solutions — solutions that make our world simpler. Mobile
apps are changing the way we book hotels, book movie tickets, eat out, do
shopping and other aspects of our life.

THE IMPACT…
Navigation and travelling have touched a whole new level. The Google maps
incorporate all the features that are required by giving all the information like
telling us the fastest path to our destination, it even tells us whether a path is
congested or not and provides alternate path. The the features do not stop
here… It gives you the precise location and even locates the nearest ATM, food
courts, nearest banks and even it will tell you the opening and closing time of
the organisations. Apps such as Ola and Uber have changed the way we travel.
Now we don’t have to search for the transportation manually, we just open
the app and call the nearest cab to our place. Finding a location at night was a
very hectic task. Even if you find one, they will charge you very much. But with
these transportation apps, we can just call the cab to our doorstep and travel
without paying the extra charges.

While travelling to a remote location, finding a good hotel was a very
challenging task. Even if you find one, it may be possible that hotel is
completely booked; you may not be able to find empty rooms. But with the
help of apps, you can just check if the room is available and book the room as
per your requirement with the nominal fees.
As if the TV were not enough, the apps have the power to bring all the latest
news to your smartphone. Watching live videos have become a common
scenario in today’s world. It has really boosted the live coverage of the
happening events of the world whether it is a live cricket or football game, live
coverage of a performance- everything happening around the globe is
accessible through your smartphones.
Apps are transforming the world of business. Businesses use app development for internal communication and streamline efficiency offering customer apps that change the shopping experience.

interact and do business. Doing business is getting a lot easier with the help of

When It Come’s To Design , Process Is All It Matters

So you have been assigned with a branding project – it is really a challenging task for any of the designer in which you have a blank canvas in the field of infinite possibilities . Well your very first goal as a designer is to take the task as a challenge , and be crazy to start a new project which will welcome appreciation of your work , and you can showcase your best work to the world .

In my 7 year of experience of working with various clients starting from startup to an enterprise client , i have discovered series of designing techniques to deliver the best in designing . As a designer we should always think for the client , so that client can easily digest with the design and we can receive our appreciation part .

Here is the R&D done during the day at Winklix

ASSEMBLE THE TROOPS

As a team leader in Designing Team in Winklix , I am a big believer in having a creative process , a process that can help the designer to perform best at their expertise level , and thereby giving the best output possible . We try to set up the system our designers will get to know exactly what they need to focus on , what are the client expectation and how to present to the client in such a way that client get influenced with our work .

The key to success in field of designing is deep evaluation of the previous projects . Once done with the designing , our team held a short meeting with the designing team to discuss the project in deep and welcoming any suggestions , thus helping us in reviewing our work and making the improvement thereon .

The very first thing that we do is calculation of resources required to do any particular project , and how long does it will take to complete the project . To evaluate we love to keep an eye on how much project in hand we have right now in our hand together with the capability of our team member . It is always proven to be beneficial to set goals based on the number of resources available , as by this we will always to able to accomplished client goals and received thumbs up from them . If we are able to achieve those goals , then we are able to manage client expectation . At the same time , we should also focus on the ability of our team member to do the work accordingly to their skills . The ultimate goal of any designer is to ” Maximising efficiency while producing quality end product ” .

GETTING TO KNOW THE PROJECT

Before cooking the food into spicy one , you must have in-depth knowledge about the project , for which you must speak with the client to hear about their ideas , future goals and their targeted market , along with the app design prototype they are having in their mind . In order to get the right information a small question like what are your core values ? What are your targeted audience ? will definitely add cheesiness before the actual process starts . This helps both the parties to discuss and execute the ideas of the client into reality upto their expectation .

The answer to above questioner blows light bulb of the designer . At this point designing team gather all the approaches that could be taken to begin with the idea . This is one of my favourite stage job – The Unknown .

PUTTING PENCIL TO PAPER

Putting all the ideas after collection on a piece of paper is one of the toughest phase to move on . Initially designers have freedom to think creatively , and to move to in any direction they want as per the project end goal in their mind . The client has more likely tasked you with ” I want something unique , that haven’t been seen before ” .

So now the question arises is where do you want to start with ? Will you jump straight onto your mac , open illustrator and start crafting . You can , but my experience does not say it all . Designer who straight away start with the design , will be limited by the tools available , and you will definitely have no idea of the colour theme to choose from together with the fonts which will look awesome in the design . It is preferable to but down a rough sketch on the piece of paper with the pencil and then start with your illustrator part to get the output as desired , which is solid and real to interact with . Pencil articulate ideas without any restriction .

Don’t put me wrong , but it is next to impossible to bring your idea into reality without a Mac and a creative programming we know and love . The next step is to play with some combination of colours using correct tool in illustrator to develop your idea . You can also browse with the fonts that suits your identity rather than using only predefined assets .

So in my opinion the only way to start the branding project is to start with a pencil and paper . We can go to any direction without any resection , and it is the main benefit of it , without thinking of which direction is right or wrong .

Our main focus is to give our client the cheesy pizza they desire , and we can start our party night after the work .

DEVELOP AND REFINE

The initial exploration help us to explore endless ideas . This is the point our team deeply reviews the things we have made and tries to search whether we have missed some great opportunity ? Then we try to search with every angle and tries to find an angle which might have not been explored yet .

We held the weekly meeting with our designing team to come up with new ideas and challenges that they might be currently facing , as compromising with our client ideas are not in our veins . We always be on our client expectation , as we know client has chosen us from among the numerous option available in the market , and thus has bought us for a reason . Client has trusted in our team ability to perform the work , and so we accept it as a challenge to give them a app that they can’t live without .

It is always proven beneficial to save on your previous steps of designing progress in old folders rather than deleting the same for any future reference . Our team are curious to get our ideas and realistic view to be checked by our client , so that they can start exploring the world of endless opportunity in tech field . Once we are satisfied with our design , we explore the magic to our clients .

So next time when you are starting your project , think twice , Am I ready ? Do I have clear understanding of all the things ? Have i worked on client requirement ? And most importantly ” Do you have pencil in your hand instead of a mouse ” !!

When It Comes To App Design, It’s A Matter of Process
