In this post we will talk about all we need to know to design Panorama controls for Windows Phone apps.
Let’s start by demystifying the Panorama control. As we mentioned in a previous post, the Panorama control is a beautiful user interface metaphor and thus we tend to over use it. I recommend we leave Panorama(s) control(s) to the end in your design process. That’s because it is by the end of the information architecture definition process that you will know best what information to highlight in a Panorama and how to do it. This approach comes from understanding that a Panorama control is like a magazine cover, in the case of being the main hub in your app, or as a spread within a magazine, if a secondary or tertiary hub.
