Iphone Application Research

Swacket

I personally love the color pallet and typographic elements.

Dark Sky

Great features, especially the ability to use a slider over the radar map for an ineractive view.

Adium

The interface a the bottom of the screen is nice and clean looking. The ability to have three different tiers of information is something that I would like to establish in my weather application.

Marvel Comics

What can I say? I like the style of comics and the bold speech bubbles. This stylization is an inspiration.

Weddar

The simple cloud shape is effective. The colors are fun. C:

Bla Bla

Simple, only black and white but still visually interesting.

Robick

The circular layout of this app is something to consider with a weather app.

Soundrop

I like the mostly primary color setup. The colors/lines are visually interesting.

New York City Compass

Note the typography.

Chainvetica

Typography and color caught my eye.

UNIQLO Calendar

Simple layout and typography is nice. Also the photos/blocked out color is effective.

JD Reflect

The color palette feature is really nice, something to keep in mind.

I have decided to use the poems of Carl Sandburg published in his book Cornhuskers.
Cornhuskers was published in 1918 by Henry Holt and Company. The text was re-issued on the internet for free use in Ann Arbor, MI through the University of Michigan Humanities Text Initiative.

About Carl Sandburg (wikipedia)
Carl Sandburg (January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967) was an American writer and editor, best known for his poetry. He was the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes: two for his poetry and another for his biography of Abraham Lincoln. H. L. Menckencalled Sandburg "indubitably an American in every pulse-beat".

Related Visuals:
He worked a great deal of his life in wheat fields and plains of Kansas, perhaps there is a relation to the title of the book.

Noisettes - That Girl

I think I want to switch my project to this song...
It's more upbeat and creates a visually stimulating experience.

Lyrics:
I don’t want to talk, wanna hear about the things that she said
Running round in my head
And I don’t know about her favourite magazines that she keeps,
About her blogs and her tweets
I’ll tell you something, it ain’t no mystery how your new best friend looks
in your eyes

Cause,
That girl’s in love with you
That girl’s in love with you
I know that you’re too blind to see
I know that it’s so plain to see
That girl’s in love with you
So madly

I don’t want to speak if you’re not coming home
I’ll be down the street, I’d rather dance to the beat
And I don’t want to cure your hangover
‘Cause we never did shots
You were with her until 4
I don’t mind company
Well not officially
But when she sits next to you
You don’t realise woo-oo-oo-ooh

That girl’s in love with you
That girl’s in love with you
I know that you’re too blind to see
I know that it’s so plain to see
That girl’s in love with you
So madly

That girl’s in love with you
(That girl’s in love with you)
That girl’s in love with you
That girl

I know that you’re too blind to see
I know that it’s so plain to see

That girl’s in love with you

I’m just a so-and-so
A lucky so-and-so
I do what I do ‘cause I’m mad for you
But just a peek at you
And I can see that you’re delirious, so seriously

Backing singer:
Honestly

Dan:
If I was playing, baby, you’d be sorry

Shingai:
Baby end of story
That girl’s in love with you
That girl’s in love with you
I know that you’re too blind to see
I know that it’s so plain to me
That girl’s in love with you
(That girl’s in love with you)
That girl’s in love with you
(That girl’s in love with you)
I know that you’re too blind to see
I know that it’s too plain to see
That girl’s in love with you
That girl’s in love
That girl’s in love
That girl’s in love with you
So bad
