Methodology & Timeline

Methodology:
My methodology is to first do background research. First research of what is out there and then research of tools needed to create said project. I then sketch out my design and create an interactive prototype and sitemap to ensure proper flow. Then I begin production. After I finish, I test the functionality and troubleshoot with the application on the phone. Lastly go back and fix all the errors.
