Very interesting case study by Microsoft about the differences between (UX) designing for iPad vs. Windows 8 Metro style.
“In this case study we want to help designers and developers who are familiar with iOS to reimagine their apps using Metro style design principles. We show you how to translate common user interface and experience patterns found in iPad apps to Windows 8 Metro style apps. We draw on our experience building the same app for the iPad and for Windows 8. We use common design and development scenarios to show how to leverage the Windows 8 platform and incorporate Metro style design principles.”

UX design for Mobile (Appsterdam Guru session).
Appsterdam invited me to give a Guru Session at BNO. Informal, very hands-on workshops to share a technology or a technique. I had a great day, thanks to 30 enthusiastic attendants. Check out the slides if you’re interested, or even better, read this blog post by my friends from VI Company, who also attended the workshop.
For all the iOS/mobile UI designers out there. Some great overview website to get inspiration when you’re working on a mobile app:
- PTTRNS, huge overview of iOS User interfaces.
- Mobile UI patterns, smaller but more specific.
