DESIGN FOR PEOPLE

We have two things in our mind when developing any app — idea or device. Neither should come first. Consider the context in which the device will be used by real people.

How does the iPad fit into our lives?

What Is Your People’s Story?

Defining a target audience is one thing but now you have to put their thoughts into action! How they will interact with your product? What do they do in their daily life?

Think about the device in terms of lifestyle rather than features and technology. Make sure your app resonate with people.

MINIMALISM WORKS BEST ON IPAD

With robust, portable, location-aware devices like the iPad, the desire is to throw in everything in the given space. Keep it simple. Display only the content that are relevant to the user at that moment.

Contextual Menus

Contextual menus help you to keep your UI out of the way.. We can use a contextual menu to present actionable items at the appropriate time.

Modal Views (But Wisely)

Modal views give you another way to organize your application; they give the user clear “modes” of operation

You have two “modes” of operation while organizing photos:

· View or edit an individual photo,

· Manage groups of photos.

USE TOUCH AND REAL-WORLD METAPHORS

Touch changes how we interact with, edit and perceive on-screen elements. With the iPad’s larger screen, touch and gestures are turbo-charged.
