I'm a Graphic designer from Beirut, Lebanon. I am currently enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts Design and Technology (MFA. I graduated from the American University of Beirut in 2013 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic design and a minor in Psychology.

My applications for the week:

Relay : it is basically messaging your friends using Giffs

Sphere: recording your world and everything around you 360 degrees. 

Snapchat: Messaging with pics and video with a time limit 

Three things from the iOS Reading that stood out for me
Embrace borderless buttons which I found interesting how design is changing to more minimalist choices even when it comes to functional tools. 

Using a translucent background and appearing to float

above the Home screen, I feel like all designs have been shifting away from that but I see how Apple embraced it successfully 

A key color gives users a strong visual indicator of interactivity

I love how how blue became an acquired indicator for interactivity but it is important to identify our target audience. I think older generations are not as equipped with these acquired norms.
