While talking to my friend about it the thought occurred: I'm a designer I'm not scared of anything.I can do this! So our next project for the lab was to make the design for the app in blend. Now that was the easy part (Oh the happiness of working in familiar territory!) so I fired up photoshop and started searching for brushes. You know how much it sucks when you can't find exactly what you are looking for?Well this is one of those times... 10 brushes I'll never use later I realised I could just find (or make) vectors/images without background! Yeaeeeee!! 
Next facebook status was: "Don't know if my windows 8 app will be working but it's gonna be beautiful!"
 Yeah it is gorgeous! Space brushes and zodiac sign brushes are enough to do the work on the background. But do I need simple buttons?NO!It's a biiig NO! I'm not going to settle for less when I've done so much work. Every other astrological sign has and well...they are boring. I don't like boring. I didn't do something extravagant I just created my own buttons! Oh the beauty of it all. I took advantage of what I've heard somewhere: " If you are doing something everybody does, make sure to do it better and differently." That's what I'm trying to do here. It's a simple enough project so far and everybody (and I mean everybody) can make a windows 8 app with just what is in blend, so I'll do more.
