The iPhone: From Experience to Aesthetics




The iPhone: From Experience to Aesthetics


The iPhone as we know it was the result of vast ideas and creativity all integrated and created by the minds with in Apple Inc. and was spearheaded the the famous Steve Jobs. It is a beauty at it's finest, and was complexly built through simplicity. Through each and every feel and experience a user goes with the iPhone, it shall always scream about art and science merged to bring speechless emotions.

To me, user experience design is the science of putting users in an atmosphere of awe while going through it with the most ease possible. Touching each and every sense possible into action through an entertaining way is what user experience is all about. And for businesses, this one of the most important detail that should be taken seriously for them to make sale.

Considering the iPhone, from its beginnings with the 2G all the way to the iPhone 5, it has provided its end users the entertaining experience from hardware all the way to its software. The feel of the phone in your hands, how easy to press buttons, and how easy and friendly to navigate through the system is what Apple has taken seriously in order to make sale and earn billions. It is the sole reason why consumers of different generations prefer the iPhone.

Basically, user experience design, crafted to perfection in application, is the ultimate edge to every product. The iPhone, from start to finish, can be used by anyone even without the need for a manual. And it is why it is still preferred by millions, and has given everyone who was involved in the creation of this device a more than well deserved gratification.

Through the lenses


Eyes Though Different Perspectives

        The Single Lens Camera or famously known as the SLR is one of the world's most innovative creations to create art in a whole new medium. As a photographer for almost eight years, and starting with a 35mm film type camera, I have seen the world in a much creative way. I have finely tuned my eyes to appreciate whatever it's receptors receive and transmit to my brain. I saw patterns, color themes, and creativity in all I see. 

       For decades, people even before me have used this device to capture memories and pause these events that are to be placed it into frames that would move emotions and relay messages. In fact, actions speak louder than words. Thus a single picture can tell thousands of stories with the absence of words.
      
       SLR Cameras have now been revolutionized and was transformed into the digital age, but rest assured the concept behind putting creativity and art into still frames never changed. All that transitioned is from light emulsions and chemical reactions to photo sensors and electronic circuits all with the purpose of striking its audiences with the collection of colors and elements that make up a photograph.

       Personally, it has became my passion and my personal favorite. More often than not, I take play through photography as a way to express what I feel and if I wish to convey messages without uttering a single word or expression.
