Creativity, Design and Business

My artistic needs are met these days with a little photography and graphic design. I am not a graphic designer, but I have many ideas that I need to communicate. Ultimately I rely on professionals for design and implementation, but I really enjoy trying to convey my concepts to these people, providing the general framework for business needs.

Recently, I thought it would be fun/useful to have an iPhone app for SlideRoom. This would be a mobile way for applicants to receive updates about pending deadlines, status notifications, or even to review their submission materials. Below is a sketch exploring some ideas and then a few actual comps to demonstrate the look.

While I have designed every page of this app, these designs are simply to communicate my ideas to the pros. They will keep some of it and rework most of it. (But it really helps to get everything half-way there). I love kicking off the design process this way and also doing final edits in the end.
