I would love to win a copy of Meng To's book! Great inspiration.

To understand the concept I also designed the sidemenu. Here are my two cents :)

I'm blown away by this. LV came up with the idea and I couldn't resist. I was more than happy to provide a few extra copies. :D

Just want to say that this is a perfect opportunity to learn iOS design and build an actual app. The skills that you gain and the code can be applied to other projects of yours. AND I'm gonna help you every step of the way. Ping me if you have any question about the book or about iOS design. :)

Spec work much?

Finally got the chance to make something. I really enjoyed working on this, since I love Designer News. Also, thanks Meng To / Designer News for this giveaway.

My shot, DN Deck.

http://dribbble.com/shots/1498357-Designer-News-Deckhttps://layervault.com/martin-bavio/DN%20Deck

It follows the card principle (https://medium.com/design-ui-and-shenanigans/1a4d5703b4b), just one article on screen, swipe left to discard, swipe right to upvote + save in your favorites list.

Unfortunately, Layervault doesn't render custom fonts in Sketch files yet, so you will need to download and have Museo Sans with you in order to see it live, or Dribbble where I've attached a couple of samples.

Totally open to critiques and suggestions.

Here's my entry. I've designed something I really want, a night theme. I love how tweetbot has the two versions and I think DN app would really help me by having one. It was quite difficult to keep a good use of the DN blue, but I think I've found an alright balance whilst maintaining a darker theme for ease of viewing at night. I also really want bookmarking :)

Everyone stand back... I'm going to attempt design.

(Obviously I can't win, just doing it for shits and giggles).

Hello guys.

I wanted to take a different approach from what you all guys did. It can be improved a lot, but for now, here is my design. Enjoy.

Well done guys! I preordered Design+Code and it is definitely worth it ;)

If I pre-ordered?

Just to make this thread easier to follow for anyone trying to keep track of submissions, I'll make a new comment instead of editing my existing one:

Alright guys, this is my design. I made it in the Sketch 3.0 beta.

That is really fun :) and makes me think how many different approaches to a design there are... while there are similiarities in the desings there are also a lot of differences. I now officialy care only about seeing more desings to feed my curiosity!

My point of view.

I would also love to get a copy of Meng To's book as well.

I tried to make it more fun, trying to make posts seem like articles spread on table. The color on the top the cards is related to what icon is associated with it (ex: black for "Ahem", blue for posts with no icon).

Anyone have an extra invite to Dribbble? I'd love to post more of my stuff :P

My very first DN post (long time reader):

Here's my Mailbox inspired entry:

Presentation: http://d.lyrv.lt/2avxydua Layervault project: https://layervault.com/gk3/Designer%20News%20App

Publicly committing to this so if I don't follow through everyone can call me names.

A few words: there are a bunch of improvements and considerations to make. Factors, that weren't accounted for. For example: not every post has an icon. I left aligned the icons because I wanted to introduce the main action (in my eyes) to a tappable area, namely the right. That would be the comments section. But this leads to a gap, when there's a post with no icon (and I bet a huge percentage of posts are without an icon). Further I decided to put nearly all of the information in this main view (upvotes, time, OP, number of comments, link). This makes it very cluttered, but I felt those were necessary. That's why I decided to truncate the title at line 1. This could maybe lead to better, shorter title management to make skimming even easier. Also, I wanted to keep each post at the same height, because posts with longer titles would take away much attention from the ones with shorter titles and I didn't want to waste space there. Having 7 posts in one view with this amount of information seemed fair to me.

Additional interactions are explained in the LayerVault presentation.

One more thing: I'd strongly recommend everyone to test every design out on the iPhone. Only by doing so you can assure perfect delivery. I've seen some nice looking entries in the browser, but when I opened them up on my phone I couldn't read a thing. Account for screen sizes.

Submission Wiki (i.e. Quora's Anser Wiki) would be pretty awesome right now. It's getting hard to keep up with all the submissions.

This was lots of fun. A day well-spent.

Hey all, I'm a new member of DN (although not really new in being a follower!), and I did enjoy this "competition". I took this opportunity to create my first iPhone design, as I never had a previous chance of doing it.

Thanks for this opportunity, guys. .

Never worked on iOS Design, but this seemed like fun.

I really like the content of Designer News and that's why I created a 'I feel lucky' kind of app.

No matter where you tap, you're going to get a great story. You want to know what's good and what's 'now'. Tap, awesome. Tap, awesome. Tap, awesome.

Minimalism to the max: no noise of post categories, votes, comments and titles on your home screen. All in a simple and slick iOS 8 proof design.

Really wanna join this competition but my final school project was due today.. plus it's only 1 hour away to the deadline so I don't have enough time to do it. But still, it's an exciting opportunity and I'm still happy to see the awesome works from professional designers! :D

First Layervault and App Project.

*edit: Going to finish every aspect of the design for a final project for school. Hoping I can develop it too!

This was my first foray into iOS design and I'm eager to do (and learn) more.

In terms of my submission, there's nothing particularly groundbreaking, but the emphasis is on a clean and concise home screen view, as per the web version. I've had many an idea as to interactions I would implement and how other screens would look.

Took a page out of Meng's own Ripple app. Hope you like it, best of luck to anyone entered. There are some really wonderful submissions on here.

Oh, I designed one of these back in July 2013

Would this app be used to submit items or would it just be used to read and comment?

Here is mine... which looks like everyone else's :) https://layervault.com/joeblau/Designer%20News

I was actually going to build this in objective-c since I have most of the components already, but I decided I'd not be an over achiever today. Maybe next week.

This is quite exciting! I have been wanting to take a stab at some form of mobile app design and this is a great opportunity to do so. :D /will edit later.

I'll give this a go at the weekend, can I have pity points because my I have all the design skill something that has literally no design skill?

About to lose my mobile design virginity. will edit later

Ok here's mine. LayerVault and preview

good luck to all

YEY!!!!

I pre-ordered already, but I'll likely participate anyway. Sounds fun.

Edit: As expected, a lot of fun, my submission is here: https://news.layervault.com/comments/55173/

Would love to know the Winners...... Please Announce

Hi Guys. When and where will you be anouncing the results?

Best

Edit: Nevermind, i have read the post again.

I know I'm late, but I had fun ;)

A lot of people submitted multiple screens, isn't rule number one to design a SINGLE home screen?

Hey this is my entry, I'm still a student but i hope i get in the 10 lucky ones. Trying to learn as much as i can and this book would be a great addition to my brain.

In this project i wanted to keep as much as i can from the website to keep the same identity on all devices. People who read DN on there computers need to get the same UI as people on there Phones or tablets.

Image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/52eadcri4sr459e/DN.jpg Layervault Link: http://lyrv.lt/Mkku5XwWSR

At start was fear that the first wins. Now the guys make not only home screen, but all screens, with icon and splash. Will we see working apps in the App Store until Friday? :) Good luck!

like everyone else, love it and will update later!

I don't think it's a good idea to post the final design in this thread.

People who made comments early (and will change them later) have obvious benefit and might get more attention. I don't think it's fair enough. Maybe not, just thinking...

I think there should be a simple and dedicated site for this contest with all designs sorted as they were submitted.

This is one I might have a stab at :) Now I just need to think of something decent :P

Hopefully I can find time this weekend to get a submission ready!

Sounds Great!! Count me in :-)
