how can i tell my layout to change? CSS Media query

designing for device screen sizes

navigation bars and placement

app guidelines vs os

content layout vs. navigation ui layout (guidelines not necc. equal)

placement of icons within a tap or navigation (instagram camera icon center)

facebook app makes good use of gestures, tap bars still present

splash screen removal, where do i put that content (sponsors etc...)

shake for undo on a tablet??? it's weird

shake comes from etch a sketch, but rotating a bit works

put undo/erase as part of ui

newer, more complex gestures, are they intuitive? or are they just for power users?

blackberry, no home button, swipe right to left to delete a word, swipe down for numbers

two finger wheel counter clockwise, how do you deal with how many undos should happen in a single revolution?

interface design course siat looks into HIG

in siat course, team project prototypes mobile app, interviewed users to see what they liked about layout, can they find content

prototype with wireframeing tools before building your app ui, axure

wireframing can be powerful tool to communicate to stakeholders

turn a features list into indiv. paper prototypes (small little moduled apps) test each module individually, more pure feedback focused on each feature, more complete attention to task / feature
