Introduction
Today you will begin to think about apps you might like to write. In our next class you will narrow down your ideas to the one that is the most interesting to you and useful to others.
That is the purpose of your ADJ, or App Design Journal.
You will eventually move through all four of these stages:
- Brainstorm
- Plan
- Prototype
- Evaluate
… understanding that design is sometimes, and perhaps often, a messy process.
As described in our course outline, design is an iterative process, so each step can be revisited as needed:
Today, you will begin the process of brainstorming by:
- getting inspired by the design journey of other app developers
- starting to identify apps that you have used, and why you like them
To do this, please create an entry in your portfolio on Notion, using the App Design Journal - Part 1 template:
Once you have created that entry, please read through the introduction, follow some of the links, and then add your thoughts in the spaces indicated.
