FeedyQ

Yates Jarvis — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 00:17:38 +0000

Branding for a new application idea I have called FeedyQ is already well under way. Here is a sneak peak of the logo and some blurred our shots of the user interface design. This application will be launching Q2 2008, hopefully.

My focus for this application’s design was a simplistic and striking user interface that really only pushes forward the bare necessities of the application, but allows for advanced use with a quick scan of the atmosphere. Our goal will be to move users as simply as possible from start to finish, creating the idea of a simple product from a simple process that can easily be shared or used again.
