Abstract

The development of mobile applications in the creative industry sector shows a very positive increase in the form of digital product production in keeping with current developments in the world of technology. In developing these mobile applications, it is necessary to look at the use of design principles in being a guide in development. The use of design principles in the development of mobile applications helps developers in developing quality mobile applications and achieve a positive level of usability from the users. To determine the design elements of design guidelines for mobile applications for the creative industry, a content analysis of the current literature was undertaken. This review was conducted on the existing design principles. A total of five existing design principles used in mobile application development from the literature were included in the review. This review shows that the use of cultural design elements in the development of mobile applications is less discussed. The results suggest that the usefulness of this cultural design element should be used in the development of mobile applications in the creative industry sector.
