Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, besides Christmas. When I think of Halloween, I think of guts, blood and zombies. For some Halloween is a time of thrills and indulging on suppressed desires (like eating a lot of unhealthy candy). However, it is also a time when inner creativity is praised. For that reason this week I want to explain the importance of having superior graphics in your apps. What's more graphic then blood, guts, and zombies? Even though we are still far from the designing process, I thought we could look at the basic of graphics. So why are these designs important? Bottom line is they make more money. Even if you are not the most artistic person, it is easy to admit that a nice picture will attract you more. Without much effort into buying an app, people will judge the app by the description, ratings and pictures.
As I said before, a majority of the top selling apps have top notch graphics and are have creative ideas. Since its Halloween, lets look at some Halloween themed apps for examples. There is an app called the zombie booth. The app uses your photos to create a 3 dimensional zombie from the picture. This app is a creative example of using high quality graphics. Although it does not allow for a lot of creativity to the user, it does allow you to change aspects of the zombie. Last year, the publishers made a huge business mistake of releasing their app right after Halloween. However, I give them kudos for making it easy to record and upload videos to multiple social websites directly from the app. Free advertising is always a plus in my book!
A great Halloween app will allow users to be creative as well. This is where Halloween card creator comes in. This gives you custom design. This is what people want. It is less interesting since it is a card creator but it isn't always about the idea but about how it is implemented. An ironic fact is you can make you app better with these other apps. There are a few apps that are free and can help you create some amazing graphics. Although though my tips where focused on Halloween themed apps, they can be applied to all apps.
In conclusion, plot out every detail of your app. Releasing apps on certain days can change how well you do. The majority of top sellers allow for creativity in their apps and have high quality graphics. Social Networks are a source of free advertising. There are many free apps that allow for your graphics to become better. Many people still judge a book by its cover so make the cover amazing.
Happy Halloween everyone!
