HI

Hi, I'm Lucia Kim. I'm a senior in communication design. I'm both an android mobile user and ipad user.

My favorite app is WWF Together on iPad. It is like a storybook about endangered animals with that incorporate 3D animation and natural user interface. It believes that interactive experience helps the audience understand the narratives of animals and possible ways to get involved in endangered animals. 

From reading HIG guidelines, I found the following three very interesting:


iOS 7 embodies the following themes:

• Deference. The UI helps users understand and interact with the content, but never competes with it.
• Clarity. Text is legible at every size, icons are precise and lucid, adornments are subtle and appropriate, and a sharpened focus on functionality motivates the design.
• Depth. Visual layers and realistic motion impart vitality and heighten users’ delight and understanding.

One of the most important changes in iOS 7 for interface designers is the introduction of transparency and translucency.The status bar is now transparent, while navigation bars, tab bars, tool bars and other user controls have adopted translucency. Buttons in iOS 7 don’t have borders and backgrounds like they did in iOS 6 and earlier versions of the operating system. This allows the type to be bigger, but means that custom button designs will need to be reworked to fit the new scheme. Dynamic type automatically adjusts font-weight, letter-spacing and leading for each font size. It also supports text styles, allowing you to specify different attributes for headlines, body copy and buttons. The refreshed Weather, Photos and Camera apps all make full use of the screen to display content. This hints at the third primary theme of iOS 7 – that depth and realistic motion communicates hierarchy to heighten users’ understanding.
