The document discusses the development of an app about the architecture of the Lightbox Gallery in London. The author decided to focus on one building, the Lightbox Gallery, because it would allow them to maintain a consistent style throughout the app. They came up with many ideas for how to design the app based on their visit to the gallery, noting the different colors, textures, and patterns. The document then provides examples of inspiration sources like a music video, Pinterest, and a poster that influenced the app's design. It also shares preliminary sketches and color palettes developed for the app. Finally, it outlines initial page ideas for the welcome screen and information about the gallery.

2. After going to see the Lightbox gallery and The Living Planet Centre I have
decided to create an app about the architecture of the Lightbox Gallery. I
have decided to do only one building because I think that this will allow
me to create a fluid style throughout the app. I also really like the
architecture of the building and the way it has been designed to
successfully integrate with its surroundings. I have many ideas on how to
design the app as there was so much to see at the gallery, there were so
many different colours and texture and patterns, even the exhibitions were
very well put together so that they reflected the building. This PowerPoint
is about how I developed my ideas.

3. Music video:
The fist page of my app is a short motion stop clip
entering the Lightbox Gallery. I was inspired by the
music video by Oren Lavie and I really like the way that
it looks like a film but its actually made up of many
different images. This is the link for the full music

Pintrest:
The interest app is almost the same as the website,
however it just shows all the different images arranged
in a pattern. I like the idea of not having all the images
in straight lines. I also really like the icon fro the app as
it is simple yet can be remembered as interest.
Royal academy poster:
The poster for the royal academy summer show first
caught my eye when I bought tickets to see the show.
The various coloured stripes reminded me of the
windows from the Lightbox. I liked the way that it also
looked like it dripped down the page, I did a study of
the window in watercolour that was similar to this.

4. These are some of the various images I plan on using in my app. They are mainly observation drawings however
some images are the combination of drawing and photography. On some I have also used unrealistic scale so that
certain aspects are clearer. For example I have drawn the clouds in the art gallery are much larger than in reality so
that I could insert photos at a clear scale.

5. I created these colour schemes using Adobe Kuler
where I inserted a photo and then chose colour from
different parts of it, I was able to continuously edit
the colour palette until I was happy that it reflected
the scheme I had planned on using in my app. These
were the two final colour palettes I chose. I prefer the
first based on the window and its reflection n as I
think it is more vibrant and eye catching, and would
reflect the gallery better as that is what I have chosen
to base my app on. However I think that I would also
need some lighter colours as accents to stand out
against the darker ones. Especially as I am planning
to use this photo I took this colour scheme from as
the background for one of my app pages and it is
quite dark so text may not be so clear on top.
Bright Colours:
This bright colour palette shows a
variety of colours from the
window. I loved the way that even
though the stripes on the window
are blue the reflection comes out
in a different colour. I feel like I
could do a lot with this broad
palette, yet I would still be keeping
to one style.
Natural Colours:
This natural palette was created from the photo
on the left. I liked the way that the muted greens
all sat together and complemented each other,
unlike the mild clash of the previous palette. I also
think that the two palettes contrast each other as
they are the antithesis of each other.

6. Information
about the
Lightbox
Welcome
Page 1:
On the first page I will have a motion stop clip entering the Lightbox. This will be created from the photos I took
while there. I have seen this feature on a few other apps and I really like the way it leads the viewer into the app,
making them more interested.
Page 2:
On the second page I will have the same background as that of this slide, however if its possible I would like to
make the stripes move and then go into place, as otherwise the page might be a bit dull.
Page 3:
On page three I would like to use the image of the gallery which I drew and have the clouds floating up on the
side of the screen, with photos inside of them. this will be the gallery page which will exhibit the studies I have
done as though they were in the gallery itself.
