Snow Reports Makes the Big Time

I'm very pleased to announce that Snow Reports made it into Apple's recent series of iPhone commercials! Snow Reports is the first iPhone app that I designed so it was a huge pat on the back to see that it made the cut.

I was contacted by Apple in November about using a screenshot of Snow Reports in "upcoming promotional materials" so I assumed the iPhone Your Life site, which was amazing in itself. 2 months went by, me checking the site once a week, and I got another call where I was told that it had been bumped up for their next line of commercials. I got a follow up call from Media Arts Lab, who produced the commercial, with instructions on preparing the app.

It was really great working with everyone at Media Arts Lab, but I must admit I was nervous the entire time. I had this odd fear of making some junior coding mistake in the mock version, or a random email that was never received leading to the use of another app in the spot. Luckily everything went smooth and I got a confirmation email a week later saying that the commercial was approved and set the air that night!

In the end I couldn't be happier, and just want to say thanks to everyone involved!
