THERE´S AN APP FOR THAT... by Ana Montse https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo Design Portfolio 2nd Semester en-us 2018-01-27 01:56:46 UTC 2025-11-30 23:54:43 UTC hello@padlet.com 1.A: JUSTIFY THE SOLUTION myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225257896 The word "app" is an abbreviation for "application." It's a piece of software that can run through a web browser or even offline on your computer, phone, tablet or any other electronic device. Apps may or may not have a connection to the internet. Apps are usually accessed by clicking or tapping on an icon on the homescreen of your smartphone or tablet. The app is a modern take on the word software or application.
Apps cover a whole range of different type of activities. The most popular are games, news, weather and social networks. 

A market is a medium that allows buyers and sellers of a specific good or service to interact in order to facilitate an exchange. This type of market may either be a physical marketplace where people come together to exchange goods and services in person, as in a bazaar or shopping center, or a virtual market wherein buyers and sellers do not interact, as in an online market.

An app and a market are related because while developing the app you have to know to which people is the app going to (the market). 
Then you have to make a market strategy to keep the app in use and people trying it.

An app can solve that by sending you a notification a week before the product will get expired.
When you go to the grocery store, you will mark, on the app, all the expiration dates of the products you bought so with that it will have a register of all the dates and a week before it expires you will get an alert on your phone so you can use it.
The day it expires you will get another notification so you can throw that item away and it will not cause stomachache or anything like that.
This app will help anyone who wants to have a track of the expiration dates of products and also people who are very delicated with stomachaches, allergies, etc.

Something important to consider before working on this project is the market. You need to consider the target audience (market) for this product to see if it can succeed or not]]> 2018-01-28 19:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225425817 2.B: THE DESIGN PROCESS myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225451728 https://prezi.com/p/vir84rok93ze/]]> 2018-01-28 23:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225451728 3.A: PRODUCT COMPARISON myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225458772 2018-01-29 00:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/225458772 4.C: DEVELOPING THE IDEA myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/229662269 LIST 3 METHODS TO PRESENT YOUR DESIGN IDEAS AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY CAN BE USED    
One method/tool that we can use could be Prezi. It could help us because in there you can insert text and images, so you can explain ideas with images, or you can write only text.
It would be a good idea because anyone with a technological device could open it and it will be easier.

Another method that could be use is an Oral Presentation with a Powerpoint presentation.
It would help us because you can express your ideas, answer questions, show images and help your audience get a clearer explanation of what your app is.

The last method could be a Padlet.
It could help us because in there you can add content, answer questions, transmit it to other people, countries, sates, etc. You can also show images, add link ¡, between another features. It could help our audience get a clear image of our app design .

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MAKING MODELS BEFORE THE FINAL PRODUCT?
The purpose of making models before the final product is to display your design in the 2D form in a sheet of paper, so people can get a better idea of your design.

 WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING A DESIGN MODEL?
You need to consider the scale you are going to use, the dimensioning, annotation and plan, elevation and sectional views.]]> 2018-02-08 16:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/229662269 1.C: JUSTIFY THE SOLUTION: CLOSING myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/229686943 The Relationship between the problem and the solution is that the solution (app) can solve the problem.]]> 2018-02-08 17:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/229686943 2.A:THE DESIGN PROCESS myp4C_18 https://padlet.com/myp4C_18/AnaMontseQGalindo/wish/229687541 1.

Quick research
a. What is web design?
Web design refers to the design of websites that are displayed on the internet.
It usually refers to the user experience aspects of website development rather than software development. Web design used to be focused on designing websites for desktop browsers; however, since the mid-2010s, design for mobile and tablet browsers has become ever-increasingly important.

b. Explain your client (your app)
The FIT-IT app is an app which helps people start a healthy lifestyle with specific diets, exercise routines and healthy recipes videos.

c. Take notes from similar webpages
http://www.health.com
I think that what we could use from this page to make a similar one is that they use recent news about healthy lifestyles, excersie because this could help us attract more people with ours.

2. Specific research
d. Explain the steps to make a web page
Step 1: Hosting Your Site 
Web hosting is like rent for your website, including the pages, images, documents, and other resources needed to display that site. Web hosting uses a web server, which is where you put those website resource so others can access the through the Web. You can build a fully functional website on your personal computer, but if you want other people to be able to see it, you will need to use a web host.
Step 2: Registering a Domain Name 
A domain name is a friendly URL people can type into their browser to get to your website.
Step 3: Planning Your Website 
When planning your website, you will need to make a number of important decisions:
  • The type of site you need: Is this a news or informational site, a site for a company or service, a non-profit or cause-driven site, an Ecommerce shop, etc. Each of these kinds of site has a slightly different focus that will influence its design.
  • Navigation design: How users will move around your site affects its information architecture as well as the overall usability of that site. Plan out the pages a site, create a sitemap, and develop a navigational structure from there.
  • Content: As the saying goes, "content is king" online. The quality of your site's content will play an important role in it's success. Content is everything that your pages will contain, such as text, images, video and more. Before you start designing or building pages, you should have a clear strategy for the content that those pages will contain.
Step 4: Designing and Building Your Website 
This is easily the most complex part of the web page creation process and there are a number of topics to be aware of at this stage, including: 
  • Design Basics: The elements of good and appropriate design and how to use them on websites.
  • Learning HTML: HyperText Markup Language or HTML is the building blocks of a web page. While there are many platforms out there that will code a page's HTML for you, you’ll do better and have far more flexibility and control if you learn the basics of HTML.
  • Learning CSS: Cascading Style Sheets dictate how web pages look. Learning CSS will help you change the visual appearance of a site to match the design needs of a project.
  • Web Page Editors: Different web page editors will allow you to accomplish different things. HTML and CSS can be written in simple text editors, like Notepad, or they can use software like Adobe Dreamweaver to get some assistance with the pages you are creating. You may also decide to use a Content Management System to build and power your website.
Step 5: Publishing Your Website 
Publishing your website is a matter of getting the pages you created in step 4 up to the hosting provider you set up in step 1.
Step 6: Promoting Your Website 
One of the most desirable ways to promote your website is through search engine optimization or SEO. This is because it allows your site to be found by people who are looking for the infromation, services, or products that your site provides.
Step 7: Maintaining Your Website 
Maintenance can be the most tedious part of website design, but in order to keep your site going well and looking good, it needs regular attention and maintenance.

e. Explain the type of web page you want to make
I want to create a web page that promotes my app but that also informs about healthy living.
