Photoshop Your Idea


50 Word Description: My goal is to expand on the app Notes Plus and make it possible for you to take pictures of notes and have it convert into text that you can then edit and create a stylus that will work just like a pencil does with pointed and accurate tip. The opportunities are endless.

Design is huge in anything you do. If you have a good design then your product is that much likelier to do better on the market. When you design a logo or a layout for your product, you have to start with an editor program like Photoshop. Photoshop allows you may your design stand out. Using all sorts of effects, you can make your product “pop” out of the page.  

Some of the easiest stuff you can do can sometimes be the most effective.  Say you want a logo to shine bright, just add in a simple glow and right away your logo will stand out. Another easy tool is the crop tool, this crop tool can help you adjust the size of any photo. But how does this all help in a note taking app? Well, you need all a great layout so that the users like using the app. But you also need Photoshop to create all the little buttons and icons in your app. I say make them cartoony looking. It’s simple yet attractive.

What about for those artists? Now I’m sure they will be using more sophisticated software on their personal computers, but can we make a simple, yet effective editing tool built right into the app? Well the answer is yet, we will need this type of tool. If you take a picture of your notes so you can add it to your notes in the app, you will most likely have to crop the photo so that you get only text. This is Photoshop at its basics.

Simple, but effective.
