Paint Pad is a fun and easy touch screen application that allows users to draw and edit images on their phones by interacting directly with the handset screen. It provides a convenient way to make quick sketches or mark up photos taken with the built-in camera, without needing to transfer them to a personal computer.

Visuals

• Interface elements are along the narrow edge of the screen, so the remaining space has an aspect ratio similar to a standard photograph.
• The image stays upright when switching between portrait and landscape modes.
• Toolbar icons are clear and recognisable.

Interaction

• Intuitive touch-and-draw interface.
• Users can add text to drawings and photographs.
• Integration with the camera encourages users to snap and mark-up photos with a minimum of keystrokes.
• Commands to make use of an image, such as setting it as wallpaper, or sending via Bluetooth, are quickly and easily discoverable in the options menu.

Overall

• Integration of touchscreen technology makes the application feel natural to use.
• Convenience and ease-of-use encourages users to discover new use-cases for mobile image editing.
