The Website (Part III)

IT IS FINISHED! I finally completed my website and it is wonderful! I love wix! It took a lot longer that I planned, and it was definitely harder than I thought it would be, but it was totally worth it. I got all the information in and some pictures and screen shots of my app. You can see my lovely masterpiece by following the link bellow:
The ASAD App

The App (Part II)

Update on how my app is going. For one, the ASAD App is so cool! Me and my uncle are almost finished with it. He says he still wants to finish a few details and make a few adjustments, but it is still awesome nevertheless. He put my the icon I made on it and I think it looks really nice. I can't wait until it is completely finished so I can show it off!

The Website (Part II)

So my wix website is coming along nicely. Slowly, but nicely. Or is it 'surely'? Either way, It is coming along and I'm having a  lot of fun working on it. It is definitely not as easy as I thought it would be (but then nothing ever is). I have added a few good pictures of my brother and the brand new icon for the app. I think the hardest part is filling out all the paragraphs of information about the ASAD App. It is time consuming, but I cannot wait to see the finished website.

The Icon

Photoshop is, without a doubt, made by magical genies. Or maybe fairies. My dad recently bought photoshop for our laptops and now I can create stunning works of digital art from the comfort of my living room. Although for now I'll just settle for making a passable icon for the ASAD App. It took a while to find good pictures of my little brother. In most of them he's making a silly face or not looking at the camera. Once I found a nice picture, it also took a few tries to get it right on photoshop.However, I finally got the hang of it, and I can honestly say, I don't think it's half bad. Of course that's just my own opinion, but, oh well.

The Name

My Uncle suggested that we name the app after my little brother, Asad, since he is the one who inspired this whole thing. I liked the idea but I decided to take it a step further and make it an acronym! Introducing the Amazing Speech Audio Device, aka: The ASAD App!!! I think it is quite clever anyways. We also decide to use a picture of my little bro for the icon, since it is now named after him. So basically, My weekend plans consists of digging through old photos to find a nice one for the icon.

The App

I finally met with my uncle this week. He owns a company that works in designing websites and apps, and I convinced him to help me with the app (since I'm not a programer and therefor clueless). I talked to him about the style I think we should go for and how a basic speech generating device (SGD) functions. My little brother has a regular SGD, so we turned to that for a bit of guidance on how the design should look. I'm in charge of coming up with a clever title and icon for the app. Easy, right?

The Website

So... Started working on my website today. Ever heard of Wix.com? Me neither. Until today that is. It's a "build your own website" website! It's probably the coolest thing ever. Well, actually, probably not. But it's definitely the coolest thing this week. Basically I just have to choose a template and fill it in with stuff all about my capstone project and how awesome it is. Since I'm basing my app on a speech generating device for children, I decided to go with a template made for a daycare center because I like their colorful, child-like layout. One thing I thought was funny about my template: it has these sample titles and paragraphs all over it to make it look more like the finished product, but they're in some different language! If I had to guess, I'd say Swedish (the language, not the fish).
