Announcing Our New App Portal
Posted by Administrator – March 28, 2009
Today marks the first day of our brand new microsite portal Apps.Vectorform. This site will see many new additions and products in the next coming months so bookmark it now and come back soon.
We kicked off 2009 with SurfaceDJ Lite (free), our first consumer iPhone app in the iTunes App Store, and have since followed it with a much more featured-packed paid ($1.99) version of SurfaceDJ. We put hundreds of hours of design and development work into both versions to deliver fans with the choices and features they most requested. It was all worth it as SurfaceDJ is currently featured in the iTunes New & Featured section of the App Store and we couldn’t be happier. We are continuing to design and develop many more consumer apps and have a couple more almost ready to be released (more teasers and screenshots coming soon!)
Apps.Vectorform will be seeing some more enhancements and additions very soon (working on the iPhone optimized version now, and a better support forum). This is just the beginning, but we are excited to finally have a dedicated portal for all of these goodies just waiting to be gobbled up.
Thanks again to everyone who has downloaded SurfaceDJ and given us great valuable feedback. Keep it coming!
Sketchy and Wiggly Wireframes
Posted by Administrator – March 25, 2009
UX designers and information architects have numerous methods for producing wireframe mockups. I’ve recently noticed increased attention to design software capable of producing sketch-like rendered components that a designer can easily drag and drop right into mockups. You can watch a video presentation of Microsoft’s Expression Blend 3 that demonstrates just these types of “wiggly” components.
Another great tool for quickly making sketch-like wireframes comes from a company called Balsamiq. They even have an awesome set of iPhone specific components.
The argument behind using hand drawn looking wireframes is based on the concept that these types of mockups more accurately depict the “work-in-progress” nature of wireframes. Those reviewing these wireframes don’t get hung up on the finer design details and can focus on the high-level concepts the wireframes are intended to convey.
