Research on apps and Inspiration

The next phase in the project was to research apps we felt were designed well and list the colors and all the other bits and pieces that would make our project whole. We chose our various colors and since mine is Commerce Bank related I felt it necessary to make one of the main colors to be their green. Next I selected three possible typefaces that not only look good on the Ipad 2, but would also give the feeling that this is a banking app that we are looking at. We then listed the different metaphors and textures we would be using in our app. Metaphors meaning if you are recorded something, show a journal or to keep track of money have a safe. Lastly, and the most interesting part of the assignment was the inspirational part of the piece.

First, I chose the Knight, death, and the devil because the overall meaning of the painting is though despair is all around him and that death is inevitable he keeps pushing forward with his faithful companion to the castle in the back. In a sense don't give up even when things look grim. I feel the same goes for our flag and the Spartan armor also. Our flag symbolizing our independence from Great Britain and the Spartan armor representing a warrior who would rather die admirably than retreating from battle. Lastly, the one hundred dollar bill showing not only a wise and influential man, but also being high currency in our nation and how important it is to keep track of it.
