[HELP] Thoughts on my app's design!

[VAkena]

Hello,

 

I've started the HSC (SAT's equivalent in Australia) 2017 course for Software Design and Development and I'm making a student management application in C#.

Context:

Audience - Students at my school (app ties in specifically with existing systems)

Purpose: the app provides (should provide) easier access to the 3 main areas, timetable(s), homework/assignment checklists and The Focus (school newsletter)/semester calendars  

 

Tell me what you think about the designs keeping in mind the following..

- the colours will (most likely) be material based and are still subject to change

- the images under the respective headings will be replaced with actual content and RSS feeds (it was easier to do it this way - saving me valuable time)

- the subjects will be linked to Google's Classroom

- don't worry about the settings, it's just there for show

 

Thank you, if you give feedback!

- the colours : nothing wrong here

- the images : too small, timetable / calendar / checklist = 1 screen each for better visibility, too much informations here

 

menu is good, colors too but I would prefere personally less informations in order to be able to focus more easily. We don't all use 7.6" screens. exemple : calendar: we don't see anything. oh yeah there's a point, so we have to clic on it anyway. 

with three slidings screens on each screen we wouldn't have to clic to see information

 

 

just my personal point of view, good work keep it up

nice simplistic design, and yeah the pictures are a bit small. may decrease the size of the icons on the menu so you can make the text size bigger

You look like your going in the rght direction, but just remember to make sure it works for people with a 4 and a half inch screen as well as people with Ipad pros (13.9 inches). Otherwise it is looking good.

 

Also, make sure your when you write in white on a light blue or green background its readable. It might just be me but its quite hard to read. (I'm colourblind)

That looks pretty cool, the social media icons seem kinda small though. I like the overall design, can't think of anything wrong with it.

It looks good. I'd just suggest to stick with the same color scheme of green-blue even with the Subject tab part. Just make it a different shade of the same color used in the background. The light blue just kind of sticks out too much. Also I like the social media icons being small because I dont expect people to use them that often and otherwise would take up too much space.

Hello, Sorry for posting again but I really just need some feedback before I start coding.

As mentioned in your previous post, the images are quite small and it would be difficult, to see details, especially on smaller screens. Something like one page per image would be better imo. Apart from that, it looks quite nice.

looks ok but everything is a tad on the small side
