Icon design

Have a look at the icon I made earlier for my IOS application. While it may not look exactly like him. This is Frank McCourt with a feint image of the museum in the background.

Ok I agree it's a tiny image but it is the correct resolution for the device I am using.

IT WORKS!!!!! :-)

Ok not the most professional title for a post but I'm delighted to say that my iPad application works. It's so good to see some hard work paying off. Thank God for Adobes free 30 day trial. What I've seen in Adobe Creative Cloud looks fantastic and would be a fine investment for any designer or developer. Staying on track, here is a screenshot of my finished product.

Now to finish off the documentation for the project. I remember doing a research final year project for my undergraduate degree. I must say it is much easier to write about work that you have done yourself so this should be a piece of cake.

Audio recording

While the deadline for this project quickly approaches I feel that I need to enhance my project with some audio. Unfortunately the driver for my soundcard is not available for IOS Mavericks so I recorded with a dictaphone instead. Here is what I am working on in Logic Express. I have recorded some basic acoustic tracks as backing tracks for the 'Then and Now' section and the 'Follow Frank' section. I enhanced these audio tracks with some effects in Logic.

FileZilla to iPage

I haven't used ftp in a while but it does come in quite handy. It saves a lot of time that could be spent creating directories. I was lucky to find FileZilla, it helped me upload my php files to iPage very quickly.

Apple Developer program

Apple make devices that are easy to use but they don't make devices that are easy to develop for. I have recently been added to the University Apple Developers Program. Here I must acknowledge the very quick work pace from the L.I.T. administration who were very helpful in helping me to receive all of the files I needed to deploy my application.
