Calories and Kilometers: The Design of Sports Apps

 

1. Cycling x Design
A short intro about the connection between my professional background as a designer and my passion for cycling.

2. When the numbers speak, even the gods are silent
Typography in the numerical information. How to work with digital information when designing interfaces?

3. Lines and charts: graphical representation of numerical information
Numbers don’t have to be boring. When to use infographics, trend lines, pie charts and colors. And when to refrain from doing it.

4. Hardware vs software in sports applications
How does screen size affect an athlete’s user experience? What should we look out for when making sports apps?

5. An attempt to generalize and predict
Where is the design of sports apps headed to?
