Unit 6 Reading response

Design principles on andriod smartphones: In reading this website page I found it very intresting to learn about the principles about making an andriod. Since i have the Samsung Galaxy S3 I decied to chose the andriod since it seemed more fitting for me. Although I do not have a partner yet I will be willing to do any of the two. I learned that people like to touch things and not just press buttons. You want your user to be happy and play around with what app they have. Pretty defaults and customization is key to designing an app for an andriod because people love customization. I know I do!Keeping it brief and knowing what people like is key to setting up an app as well. Also when designing pictures are better than words. Do not post too much words, say what you need to say and make it creative. Knowing where you are in the app is key also as people do not want to get confused when using an app. Making the app easier so people can find things on there own and feel proud is a good thing. And make important things in your app fast and reliable with no crashes. All this is important to an everyday app user and should be taken in effect when building an app. what is a skeuomorph? Skeumorph is the way of designs that borrow a feature from the past even if it is not functional. It is a physical ornamet object copied from a form of an object when anther material that is made form other techinques.
