Only - OUGD504

Only Studio came in to talk to us about designing for screen, I hadn't been too involved or invested into the current brief because it didn't seem to excite me in any way. After having the chance to listen to only and see some of the projects they have worked on my inspiration went through the roof and I wanted to get started straight away.

Below are some of the suggestions made by Only:

Phase 1, Research:

• Who wants it, users
• Target audience
• Problem

Phase 2, Wireframing:

• Mockups/Sketch out ideas
• What can be done
• How it works, no design just functionality
• Plan and organise
• Test

Phase 3, Design:

• Take over mockups
• Test again

Phase 4, Front End:

• Talk to developers about design
• 
  

Integrate brand into the project not just banged in the corner

Don’t ever offer an inferior experience

Come up with optimum design for any device

Device agnostic

Colour compliant

Make it accessible 

Distinguish what content fit with what - spacing

Find a way to make the design happen, despite developers

What will the application be used on primarily?

• Phone
• Desktop 
• Tablet

Look into brand guidelines

Designing for screen:

Not boring

it is design

don’t need to code
