Concept of my app (1)

Lighthouse is for reminding you the upcoming event.

- If there is no light, it means you have no upcoming event.


- If there is light, it means you have an upcoming event.

Why Lighthouse?

- Lighthouse is used for warning people that there is something going on over there. So if there is an upcoming event, the lighthouse will signal to you.

Pigeon is for informing you that there are invitation.

- If there is no pigeon, it means you have no invitation.

- If there is a pigeon, it means you have an invitation.

(Yellow mail means an invitation from your favorite contact.)

Why pigeon?

- Pigeon are used to carry messages and would naturally fly back to its home, where the owner could read the mail. So if there are invitations, there will be pigeon on your island.

Concept of my app

Everyone will be on there own island.

- The more you plan a meet-up with the person, the person's island will be nearer to yours.


- If you never plan a meet-up with the person for 2 months, the person's island will be further from yous and it will prompt to notify you.

Treasure box is for storing your attended event.

- If it's empty, it means you had attended no events.

- If you had attended an event, there will be a scroll in it.

Why Treasure box?

- Treasure box stores precious items in it, which means those memories of the attended event were very precious.

Intention of my app

My intention is to encourage people to stay in touch.
- The more they meet-up with each other, the more closer they will be than before and the longer their friendship will last.


Why?
- If people do not stay in touch with each other after a long time, their friendship will not be as close as before and might become strangers as time goes on.

Creating of first App (part 2)

SO! I came out with another idea, which is the Friend-Minder app! :)
This app allows people to create an Appointment/Event/Gathering with your friends!


My metaphor : One man island 


"No man is an island, Entire of itself,
 Each is a piece of the continent,
 A part of the main.
 If a clod be washed away by the sea,
 Europe is less.
 As well as if a promontory were.
 As well as if a manor of thine own
 Or of thine friend's were.
 Each man's death diminishes me,
 For I am involve in mankind.
 Therefore, send not to know
 For whom the bell tolls,
 It tolls for thee."
- John Donne


Which means human beings do not (or should not) live in isolation. All people are interconnected. A person is not like an island, standing alone and surrounded by sea.
No one can survive alone on their own. Even if you're one man with the entire island, you will also need someone to socialize/interact, if not you will be bored to death, unhappy etc etc...

Creating of first App (part 1)

My idea of my first was actually a music app where people can search for the song title (like soundhound), able to create ringtone, listen to your own music and also to rate the music and see what's the rating of the music as well as to see what's the latest/ top rated song.

But after consultation, I choose to do another idea which is Note + Reminder (To-Do) app where u can draw etc etc.. BUT! that App seems a bit too simple and unable to make it more creatively.. (as we're too exposed to the latest gadgets and app, that was an already existed app)
