Its been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Thought I’ll break the calm with a quick post about my recent sketch.
I generally use
Autodesk SketchBook Pro (SBP) on my Mac for the intial doodling. I then develop a fairly finished sketch before importing it into Photoshop for any post-processing. Luckily SBP saves the files in PSD format, making it easy to do the Photoshop import. The following sketch was entirely done in SBP:
This was done in about 30 mins as a quick sketch to demonstrate the use of SBP and a Wacom tablet to a close friend. He was quite impressed and immediately ordered a bunch of items, including a
Wacom Bamboo stylus for the iPad. I guess
marketing wouldn’t be a bad alternate career!
BTW, the sketch is called
Rain and Tears.

The
Technical Certification Requirements for Windows Phone 7 applications state the following:
5.5.2 – Content and Themes
Application content, such as text and visual elements, must be visible and legible regardless of the phone theme. For example, if the phone theme changes from black background to white background, the text and visual elements of your application must be visible or legible.
This means that everything in you application, including images, should be well visible in the dark and light theming of the phone. Handling dark/light support is very easy.

I did some designing for a Windows Phone 7 App this week. I wanted to test some graphics using the accent colors. I’ve saved the color swatches I use.
