Interim Crit Response
In Response to my Interim crit I have taken the concept of Linnaeus' flower clock and applied it to an app for the Apple Watch. I have created a concertina booklet which establishes the rules of the clock. It also includes illustrations of the flower at each time of the day. The idea of the app is it will act as a home screen. When the user brings their wrist up to view the time it will show the flower at a particular stage of opening, which will allow the user to tell the time. The app will be a very slow animation of the flower opening. The Illustration its self will be delicate and simple, the colour palette will be kept as natural and muted as possible.
The booklet will be printed onto brown paper. The app will also have the option to have a brown background, this will be up to the user. Both book and app will be very simplistic and easy to use.
Final Crit
I presented my concept at the final crit. From the crit I found that the illustrations were too detailed to be used on such a small screen, this could be combated by using colour or simplifying the illustrations. The concept needs mock ups of the app on a Apple Watch screen to get a feel for how the app will work. The idea is easy to grasp and the product will work well as both a printed publication and a app.
