Sky Go iOS Concept

The objective


There’s always something special when you’re designing for a touch-based device. It feels like the design comes alive under your finger tips, instead of using the website with a mouse. This brings it’s own challenges to the mix. You have to make sure that touch-areas are big enough so the Canadian with giant fingers can easily use the app without pressing all the buttons at once. The recent launch of Apple’s new mobile operating system, iOS8, brought updated design guidelines and grids for designers and developers. I wanted the app to look fresh and well-thought out with smooth line buttons and adrealine pumping images without borders.
