Its been a few weeks since I talked about my Windows Phone project. I bunch of things have happened during this time. I finished my primary requirements and began paper mock-ups of the screens. I say paper, but its really PowerPoint. I have done this technique for Android applications and found it very helpful. I also want to take this time to thank Michael Crump for assisting me with these mock-ups. He has given me some valued advice and my next revision of this mock-up will have additional screens.
Once I get through the next phase of my paper mock-up, I plan to move ahead with building it in Expression Blend and testing it with the emulator. By then I will discuss my project in more detail, including screenshots.
I also spent some time researching a company name. I made the decision that I wanted a company name to represent me on the windows phone market place. After much research and endless migraines, I finally got one and secured my domains for a company website, twitter handle and Facebook page. I will list them at the end of this post. The name of my new company is Mixtio Software.
I took some time tonight creating a logo. Since I don’t have Adobe Illustrator, I used Expression Design 4. It took a little getting use to but I made it work. This logo will change some when I get more time, but the concept is there.
Of course the gray is really transparent, but I guess my blog doesn’t know that. I will let you come up with an explanation as to what it means.
