Forum Nokia: Getting Started with Mobile Design
We recently had the opportunity to contribute to Forum Nokia: Getting Started with Mobile Design a white paper developped by Idean, Asentio Design and Ocean Observations. It’s a great place to start if you’re coming to mobile from a background in either web or print design.
The white paper presents many of the challenges you’re likely to face when designing for mobile devices along with strategies for overcoming these challenges. An overview of the mobile design process is covered, as well many tried and true methods for testing your designs.
