SUMMARY OF APP

• Living with Sherlock is a fun and exciting alarm app. While using this alarm you will experience first hand what it is like to live with Sherlock Holmes and to put up with his shenanigans.

• The Alarms range from you stopping Sherlock from getting arrested by solving equations.

FORM

• This App is a puzzle alarm clock based on the person Benedict cumber batch and his portrayal as Sherlock Holmes in the TV drama "SHERLOCK"

STYLE AND TECHNIQUE

• The colour scheme

• The font “Rockwell”

• For the graphics and assets we used a simple vector style

• Standardized style for the layout and button, using pixel for accuracy.

• We used a Graphic Tablet to draw the Sherlock and Policeman illustration.

CONCEPT

We wanted to make a fun, new and definite way to wake up. After seeing the TV show “SHERLOCK” we believed that this could be a good narrative for making creative alarms that engage the users senses to ensure they wake up.
