USE THE RIGHT TOOLS
There is more than Photoshop out there, in fact, when it
comes to App Design, Photoshop may not be the right tool to
use, unless you are such an expert that the tools comes easy
to you. There are actually 3 very easy to use tools that we
recommend over Photoshop.

WHEN DESIGNING YOUR APP FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT STUFF. REMEMBER LESS IS MORE.

STORYBOARDING IS KING
Imagining the app, and draw the idea first helps you land the
idea fully, helps you smooth rough edges and make it better.
This process takes some time, you make mistakes, better
make them on paper, when you can easily erase and draw
again, than when you are already using a professional tool.

PICK THE RIGHT COLORSUsing colors that inspire the emotions your app
wants to communicate, and reflects the business
or concept itself is very important. Finding color
combinations that look good and that will give
you the colors needed for each element needed
on an app (buttons, text, lines, headers) is even
more important.
