Resumen de Diseño Con Ícono

MyTurn App pre-release information
(MyTurn is free, open source software)


Many procedures for allocation of turns to speakers have been advocated.
MyTurn resolves conflicting requests to speak in favor of the person who has spoken the least.


Our motto: Protect, Promote, Perform

Protect the speaker:
Inappropriate requests to speak are never revealed.
(There are several other protective functions).

Promote participation:
Participation is balanced through application of an Equal-time Resolution Rule.
(This is a key feature.)

Perform:
Performance of groups using the Equal-time Resolution Rule is superior.
(This is a published experimental result.)



The MyTurn application is available for testing at:

http://myturn.mobi/


The instructions and other documentation can be found at:

http://doc.myturn.mobi




The MyTurn App will run on Android (Google, HTC, etc.) and iOS (Apple) operating system devices. It can also be run in a computer's web browser.

Several designers have used the name of the App as the basis for a design. That was an initial strategy and the following was posted to the List in regard to this image:

In this case, the obvious interpretation is as the letters "MY". The alternative interpretation is a dog with a bone, the "Turn", in his mouth. You can get this interpretation from the above image more easily, if it is viewed from a distance. The "M" makes up the ears of the dog. The effect would be better, if the "M" was behind the red field, since that represents the inside of the dog's mouth. This is a dog with a really wide mouth, maybe a bull dog. The mouth is open so wide you can't see the eyes at all. The light coloring inside the "M" helps produce this illusion, since dogs often have very light coloring on the inside of their ears. Darkening the area outside of the "M" would help this part of the illusion. 

The bottom of the "Y" is the bottom jaw of the dog. The red field breaks the continuity of the letter, however, allowing the top of the "Y" to be placed in a different perspective - this would work better if the cut just left the "V" part of the "Y" above the cut. The light area under the "Y" helps create an "empty space" that pushes the "V" back allowing it to be seen in perspective. The left part of the remaining "V" is the back of the dog - this would be better, if it joined with the "M". The right part of the "V" is the tail of the dog. So, the dog is almost directly facing us, but the body can be seen in perspective on the right side of the mouth. 

There are a lot of things that could be done to make the illusion easier to see. Of course, dogs don’t have rectangular mouths, so rounding of the red field or maybe reducing it just to a red "tongue" would help. Bones stereotypically have rounded bulges on their ends. The "T" of "Turn" could be the end of a bone, maybe hanging out of the side of the mouth with the other "bulge" obscured by the side of the dog's head. Using heavily serifed text for "Turn" would make it more bone like, since the letters would more easily be seen as a single unit. The "MY" color needs to be adjusted to be more dog like. If the left side of the "V", making up the back of the dog, was tiger striped, it would appear bigger, giving the appearance of a more husky dog. This is a result of another type of visual illusion.

This image is one that illustrates the point of the App. A variation on this could be successful.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: We were unable to provide timely feedback, due to problems related to payment. This meant that we were booked solid for the first few days after posting the project. A later deadline will also compensate for holiday off-times.

We prefer additional designs based upon this minimalist megaphone image. Try to maintain the same style, while adding the App name "My Turn". For example, the name could be coming out of the Megaphone, on its side, or underneath it.
