ColorGuy is a PhoneGap app, which could take photos, choose colors from that photo and type in words to describe your emotion at that moment.

As we know, colors are powerful: people are attracted by colorful products, designers want to use colors to make things functional and beautiful, fashion guys want to express their styles by colors…

The goal of this application is to let people who love colors keep a diary of colors in their life, play with colors and form a good taste.

Now we have a computer version color piker to help use analyze colors in pictures, we also have a lot of applications about colors in apple store. However, none of them like ColorGuy, which could let you analyze the colors around you in life and play with colors whenever and wherever you want!

Description

The Apple company is tremendous successful because they hold the secret in designing products that triggers and sustains emotional impact on their users.

For many Apple users, this emotional attachment with the product can be very intense. The problem arises when the older device needs to be replaced with a newer version. This emotional attached makes it incredibly hard for the user to part with their older device.

Steve Jobs and the designers at Apple are famously known to hold complete control over all aspects of their product. Their control over hardware, software, marketing strategy, retail, and advertising ensures that of the user experience of their product is cohesive and regulated. However, one final aspect of the Apple user experience is missing. That is, what to do with the device once it’s being replaced with a newer version.

iMemoriam imagines what the final user experience would be like if it was designed by Steve Jobs. iMemoriam helps the user to emotionally detach from their older device in a respectful and environmentally responsible way.
