First Project: iPad Design

The Brief

Design an interactive story/narrative for the iPad. Take an existing short story or narrative and adapt it to be interactive. This can be aimed at any target audience and can be fictional or non-fictional. You must consider your target audience and evidence this in your research blogs. Prepare and visualise your story so that a developer can interpret your designs and do the necessary coding. This will include wire framing (flow diagram) and storyboarding your app, with details of events that need to take place on each page. Your storyboard could be hand drawn/ painted style initially but you must use a digital method to finally produce your storyboard. You will also need to produce a dynamic visualisation of your story in order to pitch and demonstrate how it will work, giving detailed examples of animation content. 

You will need to consider the usability and user experience involved in designing for the iPad, producing samples of user testing handouts/ questionnaires and you will also need to evidence research into the technical options and constraints that the development of such an app might encounter. What are the differences in designing for this medium, what are the IOS guidelines, how do you tackle various screen sizes and resolutions? Detailed research into the above must be in your research blogs before you begin your designs.
