Apple - Making a difference. One app at a time. (by Apple)
THIS!
First, (…) The LESS it has to do with your category, the better.
Second, please pick a real english word, or a string of them. (…)
Third, be sure it’s easy to spell AND pronounce. (…)
Fourth, don’t obsess about getting a short web name. (…)

Team self-assessment skills… quite complementary, no? :)
This project intends to provide a rendering & interaction framework for .qtz on your iPhone or iPad. Similar to what the Quartz Composer framework provides on OS X.
The point is not to blindly follow Apple’s lead, but to figure out why they arrived at their wording. A few things to keep in mind about menus of this sort:
- Use Title Case: Capitalize Most Words. This is a longstanding convention from menu bar menus.
- If all the options (“verbs”) operate on the same target (“object”), mention the object only in the first option. So, the first button says “Take Photo”, and the subsequent buttons drop the word “photo”. This removes redundancy and makes the options visually distinct.
- Avoid technical references; “camera” and “library” are implementation details the user needn’t worry about.
Awesome information and tutorials about game development by Amit Patel.
I write tutorials and articles to help game developers, both on my main site (a set of links I’ve collected and articles I’ve written since 1990) and on my blog. The main audience is independent, student, and hobbyist game developers.
This interactive guide helps you to select how to build your next mobile solution based on a number of criteria. On the summary page you will get some suggestions and comments on how to approach your project. But remember these are only suggestions, there will always be specifics to each project that can’t be covered by a generic tool such as this. See it as a good start to guide you in the right direction!
As someone who does work on both the development and design side of iOS apps I find that many designers struggle with the transition to UI work, or with the different processes involved in iPhone and iPad app design. In this guide I’ll describe the deliverables you’ll be expected to produce, outline the constraints of the medium and introduce fundamental iOS and UI design concepts.
This calculator tells you how to scale graphics between four density groups—perfect for building out applications across different devices.
This Photoshop template contains all the major iPhone iOS elements to help you design your app.
Another PSD template that is made specifically for iPad to help you design your app.
These design principles were developed by and for the Android User Experience Team to keep users’ best interests in mind. Consider them as you apply your own creativity and design thinking. Deviate with purpose.
Enchant Me
- Delight me in surprising ways
- Real objects are more fun than buttons and menus
- Let me make it mine
- Get to know me
Simplify My Life
- Keep it brief
- Pictures are faster than words
- Decide for me but let me have the final say
- Only show what I need when I need it
- I should always know where I am
- Never lose my stuff
- If it looks the same, it should act the same
- Only interrupt me if it’s important
Make Me Amazing
- Give me tricks that work everywhere
- It’s not my fault
- Sprinkle encouragement
- Do the heavy lifting for me
- Make important things fast
Maybe before we rush to adopt <insert new tech here> we should stop to consider the consequences of blithely giving this technology such a central position in out lives.
