Design Work

Ok, so it's been a while. :P I keep forgetting to update this for odd reasons (thanks a lot, Twitter). Anyways... I thought I give you all a look at what I've been working on a bit... Namely, GUI design.

GUI means "Graphical User Interface". GUIs are basically everything you see when you open an application. Computers have them, phones have them, iPods have them, etc.

My project I've been messing around with lately is modding iPod Touch and iPhone interface. I've just completed one which I'm quite happy with.

Here's a normal iPod interface:



And here's what I've cooked up:



Basically, instead of a lot of icons everywhere, I've got 8 pages with one big icon each. Some of the icons are folders, which open up to show all the applications inside.

For example, when I push the Information icon shown in the picture above, it opens this:



Which is all my applications I've seen fit to put in my Info folder.


Anyway, there's also some of my normal applications (the most-used ones) as large icons, too.










Etc...


Here's a video of what it looks like live...
Quality isn't the greatest, because LCD screens are hard to record well on video.




So... yeah! If you've ever wondered "What's Nate actually do when he says he's designing?", that would be one of the outlets. Other include matte paintings, which I will be posting once I start finishing them (they're massive).


Hope you all are doing well. Let me know how I can pray for you!
