I looked at some examples of apps made specifically for festivals. The majority of the apps had very little in the way of illustration. Most were simple grid layouts with the title being the main focal point in terms of design and illustration. I did find some that seemed to have put in more effort to their app and were visually appealing while still seemingly easy to navigate.
The sasquatch app is very nice, summery colours that create an app that looks a lot lighter than the other I have seen, This app looks more like mobile phone games or puzzles that rely more on their looks. looking at these images has given me some ideas of how we could include illustrations into the layout of the app and make using it an easy and enjoyable experience. We will be limited in the colour schemes as the events we are showcasing already have their own pre-existing colour schemes/themes but we can still tweak colours and tones to create a unique and appealing app.
I like the sasquatch app because is happy bright and bold, we need to make sure our app sums up the festivals it represents and showcases. The events are happy, proud, energetic, funny etc.
This is an interview with Gwenaël Le Bodic about creating a festival app and what makes it successful. I think we could get some very useful pointers from this interview.
