Splatter!Preliminary Design Review

February 22, 2011

Project Goals

Splatter! is an exercise on learning Objective C and how to create applications for the iPad.

Create an application that provides users a convenient way to design and save their ideas for future use.

Learn how to network multiple iPads as well as store and retrieve data from an iPad.

Splatter! is an application for use on the Apple iPad. This application provides users with a quick way to design and store ideas for later use. This application requires at least one Apple iPad, but by using multiple iPads, users can coordinate much faster and easier. The target audience for this application is primarily those who work in a team environment. This faster, more direct means of communication provides users with an easier way to express their ideas.

Project Description

User Stories - Loading

User runs the application by selecting the Splatter! icon. The iPad loads the application. User presses the load button. Application shows a list of available designs. User selects which design they wish to load. User accepts the load command. Application removes the load file window. Application updates the canvas containing the desired

design.
