As a designer, I found the content well presented but kind of fluffy.<p>Design is about understanding the users and the experience you're trying to create. How long it took, colors chosen and testing w/ real content are mainly just technical details.<p>I would have loved to hear about the process of breaking down how Circle would improve the lives of your users and the design thinking around that.<p>Or even why the "simplistic circle" concept made the most sense for the problem you're solving, outside of the aesthetic/branding appeal.<p>It might have made a good sales pitch for your product as well.
The video is kind of odd, Seems like an excuse to get some crazy camera shots of the musicians. Doesn't really help sell the app at all, I would much rather have watched a shorter, more to the point promo video.<p>Other than that, the app looks nice!
It looked pretty good until the decision making process of colour choice-blue or orange. I don't understand the rationale. So what if orange is a warm colour. I was expecting a better argument on colour choice. And why just two choices? Is there a more scientific approach to colour choice (ie colour wheel) or is it simply designer or customer choice?
The persentation's design looks nice and clean to me. However, the icon looks kind of dull. I can't see it reaching out to me or many others as an entity isolated from its context, nothing urges me to click on it to find out more if I were to notice it while on a smartphone.<p>I think the logo has too much useless eye candy going on. You could allocate the resources of attention that are now going to multiple gradients to something which would tell more about its actual function. Something to indicate the fact that its you and your phone within the circle, etc.<p>That might spark an inkling of interest in more people: In the middle of what circle? What does the circle indicate then? Could me having this circle around be a viable thing?<p>Also, the checks and crosses beside the icons are a bit messed up logically. Why does 'Blue is a cool color of the sky, ocean, sleep' have a cross next to it?<p>The references to personal opinions feel out of place in the list, although in general I can see the value in making the product's creators closer to the reader, it's just not the right place for that in my opinion. The persnal preferences surely consist of a logic that you can put your finger on. Add more actual points there instead, that would be much more informative to everyone.
"At this point it should be fair to come out:
I’m maybe the last designer using operating system made by Microsoft and all these screens were made on
Windows® 7. At least they weren't made in Corel."<p>what's the point of that information?
It's a shame such a great presentation is ruined by the usage of "Hot Chicks".<p>It wouldn't have cost them anything to just say "models" instead of "models and hot chicks?"<p>And just like that, my interest in the app is gone.
