Nathan Barry & Jeremy Olson – App Design Handbook iOS7

Apple’s radical new design direction in iOS 7 requires app makers everywhere to rethink their approach to iOS design.

“ I read the whole book last night – I liked it a lot! I am thrilled that there is finally a definitive guide for crafting excellent iOS user experiences, and it’s now up to date for iOS 7. Excellent work on this. I am excited to recommend it. – Joel Levin, iOS Developer at Storehouse

We’re here to help you make that transition gracefully and with as little pain as possible.

So what do you do? Copy Apple’s apps exactly?

If that’s what you do every app in the store will look white and bland. You probably didn’t think of a generic clone when you dreamed up your app idea.

So how do you design something that matches the iOS 7 design philosophy, but still matches your brand and creates a unique experience?

I think that’s something every designer updating their apps has struggled with. Both Jeremy and I have found approaches that take the best of a rich unique design and combine it with the clarity found in Apple’s iOS 7 guidelines.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Take an idea from rough sketches to a polished interface.

The App Design Handbook is about taking an app idea—validating it to make sure it is worth building—then walking you through the design process. We teach you how to trim down the features to the bare minimum and show you how to sketch out the interactions—even if you aren’t a designer.

Idea and business people will learn what makes a great app and be able to effectively communicate their ideas to a team that can actually build it. Developers will learn how to make their apps a great experience, not just a collection of useful features. And designers will learn to hone their skills and create an experience worth sharing.
