Clearly Clouds App
Exploration designs for a new mobile app concept that would allow users to post and share photographs of clouds. The overall goal was to easily allow the user to post, share and view others cloud images within the app. Other functionality within the app is the ability to like, favorite, comment and share other app members posts as well as post, edit, as well as add descriptions, locations, post privacy settings and categorize their own posts. The client wanted an app that would be designed in a way to allow for multiple apps to be created for other subject matter within the same experience.
