The story of the True/False Feature App:
Monday-Tuesday: work, work, work, paint, work
I had some problems with communication in getting the final photos until Wednesday morning. Then, I had to leave to get my boyfriend from Kansas City who flew in from Vegas, come back and finish reworking the design with the final text. I was there until 2 a.m.
Erik, you're such a great sport!
9 AM: The phone-call...
I was getting ready to go to editing when Dayne called me and said the horizontal orientation wouldn't open. I opened it on my computer but every time it reached page seven, it crashed the system. That hadn't happened the night before, so I skipped editing and came in to see what could be done. My options were to redo the entire orientation, leave it as is and only have the portrait version or kill the feature.
FRUSTRATION!!
I had been very sleep deprived up until this point and it was my first instinct to just run away and cry, but then I thought that it was such a special issue, and I worked so hard that I would be devastated and disappointed in myself if I didn't fix it.
It was the right decision. I stayed and redid the horizontal version, which ended up not taking too long since I still had the portrait version to work with.
DONE.
Looking back, it was all worth it. I love how it turned out. Thanks a bunch to Kelsey and Krista for their amazing illustrations and work they put into the print feature so the app version could be possible.
I seem to have the first draft of the landscape version on my computer, so just imagine the Tim Hetherington page of the portrait version the same for the landscape.

It seems to me that are ready to take on almost anything Britt! Your work is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, Brittany. I admire you going back in there to get it done, especially since the reality is that those aren't even being published in the iTunes story right now. I hope that gets worked out because Krista and Kelsey's designs deserve to be seen and your hard work will have made that possible.
ReplyDeleteBrittany, this turned out absolutely beautiful. I love how you worked with all of the elements, especially the 'By the Numbers' section and the secret screening story. You kept the spirit of the print design, but did your own thing with it and made it work for iPad. I'm sorry to hear there was so much trouble! I would have been a mess. But, this is a fantastic piece for your portfolio. Amazing job!
