Assignment 2 – Designing you App
Proposed Solution Framework
Pass
Describe the purpose and user requirements of the app. What is the app for and who will use it? Why is it needed? What is it trying to achieve?
The app I am going to be creating is an alphabet app, designed around the idea of teaching
younger children the alphabet easily and quickly using visual and audio formats to reinforce the
learning process. The user requirements will be quite minimal, requiring only a touch-screen
device of the modern persuasion, such as an Android or IOS supported phone.
Proposed solution
Describe your proposed solution What is your idea for an app? How will it work? What features will it include? How will you navigate the app? Is it similar to anything
else?
The app will be designed around a simple button-based app design that will allow kids of the
younger variety to easily navigate the different letters around the app, and also be able to access
the various different assets that may be in the app. Each letter will have a different picture and an
audio file that ill pla the page sho s up, ha i g a for at lose to Letter sta ds for O je t starting with that letter as ell as a olourful or e e i tera ti e page. Will you be using any pre-defined codes or programs? Have you seen any other examples of apps that you are going to use some of the code from?
I sure I ll ost likel e usi g either Visual asi for this app reatio , or A droid app reator
Where have you found the pre-made examples of code? Try to give names or website addresses of where you have found these.
Merit
Describe an alternative solution You need to come up with another idea of an app that will meet the given scenario. Describe it in the same level of detail as your
previous idea above.
The other idea I have for an app will be a simple drag-and-drop game that will allow children to
Splash screen
actively learn the alphabet by dragging and dropping the different letters into different words that
may start with the letter, and it will give them different words each time the complete a certain
set of words, probably only around 6 words per group.
Distinction
How will your proposed app fulfil the purpose and the user requirements?
You have been asked to develop an app that will help children to learn the alphabet. How will your proposed app meet the purpose and
requirements that you defined above? (What will it teach and how? How will you make it suitable for young children?)
The app will use bright colours and button size to easily make the program useable, without making it
too confusing and keeping it simple. The requirements will really just being able to access some sort
of smart device that supports the app, as well as a form of internet connection to download the app.
A d fi gers… ou ki d of eed fi gers. Any design constraints?
What might affect you building/finishing your mobile app? (Device, programming knowledge, computers, time, artistic abilities, screen size,
button size, memory et …) If you can, how will you overcome these constraints?
It may be a little hard to create a form of drag-and-drop game, so it would be kind of tedious and
time consuming to do, meaning it may eat into creation time that could be used for other things such
as creating a more simple and more effective app in general
Why did you reject your alternative solution?
Explain why you have chosen your main design instead of your alternative solution.
It just seemed to be a little bit too much for the time I have developing it.
