Title: From Design To iOS7 Prototype
Context: Hack your way to iOS7 mastery in a single day!
Synopsis: How would you go about learning how to design for a new operating system? Read spec documentation? Style sheets? GUI guidelines? How about sucking it up, and designing a native app right out of the box? Oh, and give yourself a single day to do it for double difficulty points. A baptism by fire, or in the case of iOS7; a baptism by pastel color palettes, flat iconography, and highly legible thin fonts. Maybe there’s nothing too earth shattering here about process, or collaboration, or problem solving, but taking on a brand new platform while simultaneously delivering a clever little product takes both talent and moxie. Sometimes we intellectualize things too much, when in reality, the path to understanding is also the path blazed by actually doing.
