#requests for help from a Graphics Artist, because I am not one.

I am a programmer, and have limited knowledge about graphic art programs. I have done a "beta" job of producing images for the MyTime Program. I received many pictures for the icon for MyTime and am very appreciative of the person that created it.

My concern is more along the lines about the buttons at the bottom of the MyTime view. (if you go to More->Edit you can see all of them, or just look at the picture below). I do not want to add any snazzy/useless images or transitions, I want to make this program useful and minimize things that "just get in the way".

I am trying to stay with the "apple theme" of blue/gray buttons like what is used in the phone application on the iphone and the ipod application on the iphone. I want something that makes it obvious what the tab is that you are looking at.

The button bar pictures that are due for changing are:

  • Mapped calls: this looks like spaghetti but it is supposed to be the highways around Huntsville, AL

I have other tabs that I want to come up with and it is always a choir to create the little icon for that tab.

What I might want to do is come up with an email list of people who could do some pictures for me and just email out for someone to offer help when available.

you can get at all of the pictures (and the code for that matter) at http://code.google.com/p/mytime/source/browse/#svn/trunk they are all .png files. Here is a quote straight from apple's documentation:

Before you create the art for your icon, you need to spend some time thinking about what it should convey. As you consider designs, aim for an icon that is:

  • Simple and streamlined. Too many details can make an icon appear sloppy or indecipherable.
  • Not easily mistaken for one of the system-provided icons. Users should be able to distinguish your custom icon from the standard icons at a glance.
  • Readily understood and widely acceptable. Strive to create a symbol that most users will interpret correctly and that no users will find offensive.

After you've decided on the appearance of your icon, follow these guidelines as you create it:

  • Use the PNG format.
  • Use white with appropriate alpha and no shadow.
  • Use anti-aliasing.
  • For tab bar icons, create an icon that measures about 30 x 30 pixels.

The images displayed on the tab bar are derived from this image. If this image is too large to fit on the tab bar, it is scaled to fit. The size of an tab bar image is typically 30 x 30 points. The alpha values in the source image are used to create the unselected and selected images—opaque values are ignored.

Hows about adding GPS location? There is a program called GPS Notes that does this, is there a way you could do this in your program? Its like your Google Map link but it will put the GPS location in for you. Thanks will try out your program..

I didn't want to go into it on this forum so if you can't help, can you maybe direct someone to contact me. Its an objective C problem. . . Thank You toopridy :) - Bruce - stylographix@gmail.com

Comment by kat.f...@gmail.com, Jul 13, 2010

Well, looks like you have plenty of help offered, but I'm here in Iowa if you need more graphic help, my son as well is not only an really inventive graphic artist but a computer genius. :-)

What about a little earth for the maps, after all this app is multi cultural.

By the way we (I know this is for graphic comments but...), my daughter and I just love your app. I always forget to record my time, then at the end of the month have to spend too much time with the calendar trying and remember each days activity. I usually forget something. Not a good example for the wife of the secretary. Your application is so easy that last month I turned in my time on the 1st of the month.

Comment by josiptu...@gmail.com, Sep 15, 2011

Hello! My name is Joseph and I will gladly be involved in translating from English into Croatian, because I noticed that it was not completely but partially translated. A few days ago I came from a pioneering course and age MyTime? program and I am very pleased and happy I'd made ​​the suggestion at work re-visits and no one at home to "connect" together. eg in the area I am looking for anyone at home, and disapproval to return again and now that I quickly came to re-visit a few times I click back it takes time, so would be very welcome for the shortcut key and back on one at home .. I hope you understand what i suggest. here's hope that this will be useful. of course, if you like this proposal, and when have found the time! If you are interested in details such as how and where to pick up the mail. thanks!

Comment by keishacl...@gmail.com, Oct 18, 2011

I can help brother. Please see my site at www.kcl-studio.com

Comment by diegolan...@gmail.com, Feb 25, 2012

I've just noticed in the italian vesion that mapped visits is too long for the space allocated to it, could you change the current translation (ita "Visite salvate su mappa" = eng. "Visits saved on the map") in to (ita. "Mappa Visite" = eng. "Visits Map")? It will make the visibility much better. Great work by the way!
