mills™, Colour Monkey and the first app concept. Week #9

In the last week I was fully involved into our new (and first) app concept. I feel that day by day I am learning a lot about programs, techniques and what this industry is about. It is about hard work.

I have touched OmniGraffle and Cinema4D. I started to appreciate Illustrator and I think that this will be my main tool for future wireframing. This is how it looks right now


After the feedback from Jason and Paulo my group needs to work on different scenarios and storyboards for visualizing the concept. I think there is a potential to create something fun. Right now I am doing some research into the style of our app. Appstore is not very helpful in finding inspiration... Dribbble certainly is, but I need something more than that.

And this week we had very inspiring lectures from the industry. My favourite was with mills™and the way he talked about ustwo™- the studio of dreams. It was a shame Matt did not bring any pictures from the studio. Anyway, I am well impressed by the people I met so far from that agency. Right now it is the top desired agency for the internship.



„Do less, but do it well.” was the main thing mills™ said that stayed in my mind. I think that sometimes my attention is all over the place.

And the second thing was about a courage to make an app. I feel that there is not too much time and during our time at Hyper Island we should take as much as we can and make something significant out there. I am currently working on a side project and I cannot say too much about it here. Hopefully in two months I will something to show off.



Lecture with Color Monkey was very inspiring as well. I felt that I just wanted to get out and start working on our app design for this module.



And a Cinema4D workshop we had today. Many thanks to Josue Motta and Ola Syse for sharing their experiences with the program. I have never launched any 3D program before the lecture and now I know how to do basic things inside. I may need that very soon.

Welcome to square



I have see this video sometime ago, so this is not a news post. What I would like to emphasise is the way this introduction was done. Unique style, music, words used, there is purpose in all those little things. To me, it is just perfect.
