We create easy to use yet powerful mobile software for Farmers.
Farm Manager is one of the most successful agricultural apps on the Apple App Store. We are currently preparing for release 1.3.0, which includes a new layout for the initial screen a user sees upon app launch. Attached is a screenshot of the home screen, as well as the image that will be used as the background.
This project is for a set of icons for the home screen. The screenshot has the layout and name of each icon. The following describes a bit about the function of each item.
Farms - access Farm details
Paddocks - access Paddock/Field details
Weather - access functionality to record weather readings (Rainfall, etc)
Machinery - access Machinery details (Tractors, Harvesters, etc.)
Crops - access Crop details (Wheat, Corn, etc).
Livestock - access Livestock details (Cows, Sheep, etc)
Notes - access note taking functionality
To Do - access To Do list
Calendar - access Calendar of Events (harvest, shearing, etc)
Online - access Online functionality (data backup, sharing)
Settings - access App Settings
About - show App Information
Please note that we do not want the white buttons shown in the screenshot, these will be replaced by icons. Also note that the icons should not include the text, as this will be added programatically, however your sample design should show text (styled as you wish) to better convey the final look.
Deliverables will be icons sized for normal and Retina screens, for both iPhone and iPad.
We originally ran this contest on Design Crowd, but only received one submission - we're hoping for a better experience here!
