Assignment #3: Goal to make a tablet mobile application layout

  • Imagine that you are prototyping a new digital wallet application. You are going to test out a test version on tablets to see if you have a good design before refining the graphics. Your application has a wallet balance and a system status at the top. You have a pane that shows people with whom you exchange money, a pane with a transaction ledger and a pane with the information necessary to make a new transaction. You need to get this into the hands of your testers as soon as possible.
