About this app
We shuttle through the city every day, yet often fail to notice the scenery around us. In fact, the most beautiful creative materials have never been far away. Brus aims to awaken your dormant eyes as a painter. When the pencil strokes across the paper, you are leaving a certain moment forever in the landscape. Discover your visual curation. By switching between classification tags such as Recommend/ Scenery/People/Animals, scenes that might inspire your creativity are presented to you. Perhaps it's a narrow alley covered with vines that you've never noticed before, or perhaps it's a bus stop full of story-telling as written by someone else. The search box is like your personal researcher. Use keywords to find specific locations or atmospheres and directly reach the scenery you want. See the visual diary of the city. Here, everyone is a recorder. Upload your sketching work, along wit…
App details
What you can learn from Brus: Find Your View
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 4 screenshots above are Brus: Find Your View's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Brus: Find Your View runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #242C14) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #6C7C3C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
