MATERIAL DESIGN iOS +TWITTER iOS CONCEPT

MATERIAL DESIGN ON IOS - TWITTER CONCEPT

BRIEFMaterial Design is a design language set forth by Google for use across platforms.

I am a fan of Material design, but I am also fan of platform and common use patterns. My attempt was to create a small section of Twitter for iOS with a Material Design flavor.

I tried to think about common use, platform patterns and of course Material design and how can you combine those effectively.

Want control - more hard core techies who want to customize and explore the limits of their phone's capabilities. (Rooting Android).

Accept complexity

Are more comfortable with the more open but less polished design

They are known as the Google power-user, because they are well-integrated with Google products.

Consider themselves as no nonsense phone users who know what they want to do and don't spend a lot of time wandering from app to app.

They want simplicity - they are tech enthusiasts, addicted to new digital devices but not so much for technical jobs.

Accept less control

Like sleek and polished designs

They are known as the App power-user because they enjoy using apps. Will explore and experiment with several.

Are more likely to purchase goods or services

Spend a lot more time using their phones

•Forcing a user to adapt or take on new sets of habits within an app could cause great confusion. (e.g iOS 7)

I HAVE TO WONDER… WHY SEVERAL BIG BRANDS SUCH AS TWITTER OR FACEBOOK HAVE YET NOT SUCCEEDED TO CREATE ONE DESIGN THAT FITS BOTH OPERATING SYSTEMS?

So go ahead,Lets experiment and see what works in any case. Just don’t forget to consider the people and

devices that you’re designing for.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
