Now, one of the things I enjoy the most, is being able to sit down at my computer after a along day and start designing. even more so if I can find something in particular that I know I want to design for.

Android L will be released publicly in the next couple of months, It's design is completely rethought and simplified. Naturally, taking advantage of this new simplicity, I decided to take a stab at a couple of apps re imagined in the android L design (Material Design).

Android Dialler

This is my take of the new dialler, now, it doesn't scream complete uniqueness from the stock one that will come with the new version, however, I thought I would give it a tweak in order to make it seem more intuitive. The designing process for me is entirely limited by the software I have at my disposal (which is virtually nothing, if you don't count the unstable Photoshop I had found online) despite this, I find that Paint.net is a great alternative, it may not have all the fancy manipulation tools that it's competitors have, but it has a sufficient amount of toys to play with in order to get a respectable product at the end of it.

Over the last couple of months since its unveiling, I have done a number of different iterations of multiple apps and various other things, all of which, unfortunately, have been lost due to a recent hard drive fail. curse my persistent laziness and trust of my computer.

In the future I hope to be able to learn an adequate amount of coding in order to produce my own android apps and I hope even more that I can get my hands on a device that runs this beautiful incarnation of my favourite mobile operating system as of yet, Android.
