A step by step guide to successful App concept, design and prototyping
You might have the perfect idea for a beautiful app – but no clue where to start?
In this 2 day workshop, Lucas Zanotto will guide you through all the steps of how to realistically plan a concept, put together a clear presentation and even create a first prototype. Building upon his experience at Yatatoy in successfully conceptualising and producing beautiful games for kids, Lucas shares his knowledge and experience and helps participants to optimise the process for their own projects, from concept and workflow, to collaborating with the right programmer and sound designer, all the way to publishing and promotion. You will work with Lucas to refine your own ideas and develop the entire process of menu functionality to game playing. On day 2, with the help of Lucas’ programming partner Niels Hoffmann, you will be introduced to the functionality of the renown app building tool Marvel, and even create your first prototype!
