We envisioned a DJ app that would look and feel realistic from the lighting source of the vinyl, textures, reflection on turntables arm and even the way you interact with the buttons and sliders.

The most difficult process was getting the right textures and details on the outer layer of the scratch board. Why? Because the circles had to be centered according to the main circle piece of the scratch board or else it would look deformed when it rotates while playing.

We also wanted to give that “hip-hop” feel with colours but not too much colours or it’ll just end up looking “cheap” and the best solution that I came up with is within the LEDs that’s being used throughout the app.

I can talk forever about the design process of this app but that’s only half of the app... slide over to the right and watch a demo of podDJ.

You put your item on the counter and the lady behind the counter says, "that'll be $42.24, please?".

You have several things to do now within the next 30 seconds such as take out your wallet and pay, take your iPhone or iPod touch, slide to unlock, launch the app (depending on how the app is, it might take a while to load), punch in the amount you just spent and what you just bought. It sounds like a lot, and by the time you pay, you might've forgotten the total.

I've designed Budg-it with several things in mind: Set and view daily limitation, alterations of inputting purchased amount, input purchased item, a way to quickly hide and delete purchase(s) and view history. All of this, with ease and always there on the screen.

Unfortunately, this app is no longer available in the App Store.

An app that serves only one purpose: Annoy the heck out of your friends and family in a sneaky manner.

With that said, my main focus when designing this app was the play and stop button, which is why I made it the largest thing on screen. With the large button, the user is able to sneak the device out of their pocket, almost never failing to press the button. In addition, placing the play and stop button a little above center, by nature, your thumb can easily move horizontally and press the buttons with ease.
