 Akina 3 Screen Mockup Akina

Concept, Design, Programming & Production by DINO Studios 2010

This was a two part application that explored the creation of generative art and the use of physical objects interacting with the iPad. The user could experience the app as an aesthetic tool for flower growth or create a story around the papercraft creatures made to sit on the surface of the iPad. The interface was designed to guide the user visually without the use of text for a richer, more exploratory experience. The creatures were made of small salty sponges encased in latex and set into base groupings of two, three and four to mimic the touch down event of human fingers. I designed the user interfaces, sprites and graphic assets and took part in the fabrication of the papercraft creatures. You can view and download the app here.
