Design
My favorite part of the Capstone project so far has definitely been the design and branding aspect. When choosing our color scheme, we went with blues and greens because they often symbolize trust and growth. These align perfectly with the goals of the Chamber of Commerce.
I actually was able to design our logo and I love the way it turned out! We decided to use a backwards C in the word Cync because when placed under a regular C, it almost looks like a link! This aligns perfectly with how we are linking the chamber resources to an app.
Though we will be testing Cync with Gordon County we have hopes of it being able to be utilized in several different places. So we created a separate logo that is more area specific that can be changed to reflect whatever county it is being used in.
Development
Alpha
During the Alpha Phase of the Capstone project, we made significant progress on our App Design. By this time we had a Resources page, Hotspots page, Events page, and an About page. We had even begun pulling in information and adding it to the app. You can View our Alpha 100% file here.
Beta
Looking at the growth from Alpha 100% to Beta 100%, there is a significant difference. During Beta we added branding elements, and compiled several more aspects to the app. Beta is now ready for the user testing phase and the Cync team is looking forward to gathering feedback!
