This document contains summaries of 3 interface designs by Terrance Nelson:
1) An iPad travel application to help travelers find accommodation, restaurants, and sites.
2) A mobile check-in application for airport agents to check in passengers remotely.
3) An Android camera application designed to be simple and fun to use.
2. iPad Travel Application Concept
This is an iPad application concept I designed for a travel company. The assignment was to create an iPad application that was extremely easy
to use, streamlined and helped travelers looking for accommodation, restaurants, local sites etc. while traveling.

3. Mobile Check-in (Appear)
This is a mobile passenger check-in application that I designed for the Windows Mobile software platform for finger friendly ruggedized
devices. Primary users will be airport ticket agents at remote locations away from the airport, in order to check-in passengers before they board
the shuttle to go from the remote location to the airport terminal. Speed and of course ease of use were the main focus areas when designing
this application.

4. Android Camera Application (SEMC)
These are samples of designs for a next generation camera & video recording application running on the Android platform and created
for Sony Ericsson’s new line of Xperia mini™ Android touch screen phones. The idea behind the designs was to limit functionality and
make a camera application that was simple, easy and fun to use and took great pictures. Focus was purely on creating a great user
experience without all the in your face functionality.

simplicity and user experience as the main focus.

7. Side Project – Home Screen Concept
These are screen shots of a design concept for a mobile touch UI Home Screen application. This is a concept were the user would long
press on the screen and application shortcuts would sneak in from the sides of the screen as panels, to give a preview of where the user
would be taken if they selected one of the panels, or what is currently happening in that application i.e., artist and album currently
playing in the music application.

8. Side Project cont. - Contacts
These are screen shots of design concepts for a mobile touch UI application for contacts. The first screen is a contact list with social
networking updates for your contacts at the top, followed by most contacted/favorite contacts, with the full contact list starting after that.
The second screen is showing a contact that has been selected (long pressed) and the actions that are available to take on that contact.
The second screen also shows an easy way to tab between applications at the top of the screen, which would replace the social network
updates.

9. Side Project cont. – RSS Feeds
These are screen shots of a mobile RSS reader touch UI design concept. In the first screen you have the list of feeds that you have
activated. The second screen shows the scrollable list of feeds in the selected feed group. The third screen shows the view when a feed
is tapped and expanded and the options/actions available for that feed.

10. Side Project cont. – “Camera roll”
These are screen shots of a “camera roll” mobile touch UI design concept. In the first screen you have the photo stack in the lower right
corner, which when tapped, opens the “camera roll” slide bar at the bottom, where the user can easily flick to scroll through photo
thumbnails. The user can slide their finger across the slide bar fast, or slow in order to see a preview of the images they have taken
during the current photo taking session.

11. iPhone Side Project
These are a few screen shots of an early concept for an iPhone application I designed, that lets you see and browse through all the geo-
tagged photos you have stored on your phone, based on where in the world you took them.

12. Ocean Observations
During my time at Ocean Observations I worked on a project for a Boston based mobile search company. The task was to design a
concept for a multi faceted mobile search engine for entry level phones using WAP technology. Below is one of the main flows of the
application.
