I am a web designer!!!

So, the first and the most funny thing is to create a layout for my app. I think the best way to do this is simply draw on a piece of paper or a monitor, like below. There should be a lovely header, the german text which should be analysed by the app, the “wordlist” and the details about the selected word. Every word will be clickable, and according to this the “selected word textbox” will be changing.

The only problem is that there is some wasted space, so I re-designed the layout a bit. I also found out that displays’ are usually wider the higher, so it is reasonable to stretch it a bit to the left and to the right.

And finally there is need for welcome-page, where users can enter their German text. Just a textbox, a button or two, and some introducing text about the app.

Finding the right colours will be also a bit tricky. There is a lot of stuff out there about choosing colours, I’ve found two interesting resources: an infographics about color sentiments with some stats, and the Color Scheme Designer, which can help creating nice colour sets (and export them many formats).
