Designing for Mobile

This month we have three great speakers lined up to talk about how to approach designing mobile applications:

Du Hoang

Du Hoang is an interactive art director at About.com (http://About.com/), where he designed the food and fitness social network Calorie Count. It has over 5 million members and can be found on the iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Du will talk about the process of designing an app across multiple platforms (iPhone, iPad, Android, and mobile web) and how to keep the design cohesive and on brand while still respect design patterns unique to each platform.
