I feel like the best app designs in terms of how clear they are to use, use bright or pale colours that are easy to look at. Therefore this is the route I am taking – I will use mainly pastel colours. I googled ‘best app design’ to get some inspiration for layout and where to start and found these designs that are in line with the colour choices I had in mind for my own:
I have found that apps are usually quite minimalist which makes them clearer and refreshing. I want mine to have a similar style – maybe not necessarily having very little going on but by using ‘simple’ fonts. I am thinking of using Helvetica to see how it would look.
