For this contest, you will create the screens outlined below base on the provided wireframe and storyboards. The target platform of this application will be the Apple iPad.
You will be given Storyboard for the look and feel of your new screens and HTML wireframes for the screens outlined below. You should think about iPad interactions, any functionality should needs to be represented in your designs. We are also open to new ideas you might have.
General Guideline:
* iOS Standards:
- We are looking for a iOS standards, the app should use as the native/iOS User Gestures
- Use standard Buttons like back, delete, and cancel. Use the red button color ONLY if you need to provide a button that performs a potentially destructive action like delete.
- Badge like the red notifications circle should be standard as well, avoid using the arrow icon that looks like the recycle icon
- Use of standard search field for all the text entry field with the "x" to clear the field regular text fields
- Menus should be standard Popover
- Use Table View for the form fields
- It is critical that your design takes advantage of user gestures - multi-touch, swipe, pinch, grab, tapping, etc. Please clearly document how you intend users to physically interact with your interface.
