Design Theming Apps in Penang
Up until the latest generation of iPhone hardware, the color options were slim. In fact, they seemed to take a page almost straight out of book allowing customers to have any colour they wanted, so long as it was black or white.
But, with the introduction of the gold anodized iPhone, as well as the early iPod-esque colour scheme of the iPhone 5C series, the choices have increased exponentially on behalf of the company. Something Apple doesn’t seem to do quite often.
The question now is, how does this increase in color choices for hardware play into app design? Up until now, designers have never really had to deal with making an app match the devices’ color. Even a fashion-challenged individual, myself knows, black and white can go with – almost – anything. But, this new colour scheme, be it the gold iPhone or the vibrant selection of the 5C, makes for a much less simple solution when you’re trying to create a more seamless experience.
A great deal of the beauty and ongoing evolution of Apple’s iOS devices is making the hardware as invisible as possible when it comes to daily usage. However, they can only do so much when it comes to the users daily experience on the device, as third-party apps are what users are going to be interacting with most of the time. This means the responsibility to continue the invisible experience comes to the designers of the apps. And ultimately there are two options, the latter of which is this trend.
Has been taken over with a white redesign of every app out there, and my Twitter feed is still filled with people complaining, but it’s the most logical solution. A primarily white interface is as agnostic as it gets when it comes to designing for a plethora of colors. Whether it’s the gold iPhone would trade his collection of epidermis for, or one of the iPhone 5C color choices, which has even the vibrant characters from blushing, white simply works. And it’s most certainly a logical choice for the designers of many apps.
