Week 6: Operating System and Digital Color

For the success of the Eat This application and it's webpage counterpart, an operating system will have to be utilized. Most people are familiar with the two popular operating systems, Windows and Mac OS, but have little knowledge of what it means. An operating system manages hardware and software, acting as a intermediary between the two. Another important aspect, is the digital color used to create the application and the website to appeal to users.

Mobile market operating systems are important for the use of applications. Smart-phones are necessary to run the application. Two big competing Mobile Operating Systems are the iPhone and Android, but any other mobile operating system will do as well. Without the mobile operating system there would be no mobile application because it couldn't be run.

Digital color is important when designing web-based images. Hue, saturation and brightness all play into the images appearance. Hue is the color type, saturation is the intensity of the color, and brightness is well the brightness of the color. Using hexadecimal color I can create over 16.7 million color combinations to find the perfect color for the application and webpage.
