Contest Details
Hestia is looking to add some fun to their current iOS application. This contest is to create a "Concentration" game design that will be included/added to the current Hestia iOS App.
Resources & Requirements
Note:
- Group/package each graphics in its own folder layer with appropriate names/titles
- We are providing the current Hestia iOS design. Check the FOL-Mobile-PSD-Source-Files.zip
- Check your spelling before submitting.
Design Consideration
- Remember when creating graphics for a mobile app, all UI elements must have fluid width, so it will support landscape and portrait layout.
- There must be a clear way to navigate through the application from screen to screen and the screens themselves should flow together in a logical manner.
- Buttons and links should be large enough and spaced out enough to ensure that the correct item is selected each time.

- What button should show up here? "Play Now"? "Level"? Any others?
- For the first time level, should we let user watch the tutorial? or anything to help them play the game?
3). Match similar images
Here the rules of the game and how it will be played

- Create separate screens to help client and developer understand your design.
4). Choose skill level
