iArt! Get it right!App Art is important!
By - Alok ‘Rodinhood’ Kejriwal
iArt is the art of the ‘i’
If you want your iApp (an app on Apple’s iTunes store) to be worthy of respect, then try & swoon ‘iConsumers’ like me!
Remember:
• We are badly spoilt by great existing iArt on the iTunes stores..
• We are brainwashed by the incredible design & aesthetic style of Steve Jobs!
Examples of great iArt?
Some recent iArt ‘fumbles’ by Facebook, Google and The Economist.
Google’s Chrome App thumbnail sucks :-(
Some suggestions by our team!
The facebook mobile notification is ‘Pokey’ :-(
Some ideas : 1) A slightly gentler ‘poke’?
Some ideas : 2) Why poke at all?
Some ideas : 3) An improved tab ?
Some ideas : 4) Another, kinder poke?
Some ideas : another tab version
The ‘Tar balls’ in The Economist’s iPad app
Some ideas : 1) Gentler, muted, red balls?
Some ideas : 2) Elegant, muted red dashes?
Some ideas : 3) Muted grey dashes?
Some ideas : 4) Tar balls, but softer, greyer?

An important note.
This is a post written by me in my personal capacity and not as the CEO of games2win (g2w).
As the CEO of games2win, I publicly acknowledge (via our blogs and media) that g2w is NOT the gold standard for Art, UI or UX! Hence, please do not consider this to be any sort of chest thumping..!
Games2win is trying hard to learn and improve, and that is the spirit behind innocent and harmless experiments like this one!
