Project 2: iPad Design - Cog App

Our trip to Cog App was very informative on what it is like to design / work for a bussiness. They showed us the stages of producing an App from start to finish. It was a great help knowing how the UX department have input into an app at all time during its development, rather then just doing the user testing at the end. I found it interesting to see how many stages a set of wireframes could go through before the client signs off on the design. Here are my notes i took that day:
