Originally to create the app I was going to use Shoutem.com which is an app building website that enables one to build an app based a pre existing structure. For example a blog will have an app structure already built and all you have to do is apply images. However there wasn't any existing structures that were suited to the kind of app I proposed. The kind of app i wanted to make was a simple main page that had 6 links leading onto celebs pages. However each template had different layouts, structures and page amounts. Therefore I will now just propose my app as an idea to spread the results of out tea sale and if it has worked.
Laura suggested that as well as proposing the app to show our results we also create a simple info graph poster that can be printed and placed around college to show the overall winner and the money raised. But also to say thanks to everyone who buys tea from us. After discussing with her we have decided it must be simple because I will have to create it after the tea sale on thursday.
Below is the final app proposition that has been developed from the initial sketches I produced last week. I experimented with many info graphs and there was a lot of going back and forth because everybody needed to agree that it was easy to understand but that it also fit in the with the style of everything else the group is making.
Start up page

Celeb results

Then below is the board displaying all the app pages that will be shown in the final presentation tomorrow. I'm really happy with the way the app turned out, it's in the style of all the other material created by the other members in the group. One thing missing from the app is a total amount of money raised for comic relief. It's just a shame that I couldn't actually produce the app but the poster will basically do the job the app was proposed to do. The poster is actually better thinking about it because it will reach a larger audience if we place it around college because not everyone has access to apps and I doubt anyone would have downloaded it anyway.
