The time has come where I want to figure out how a designer, like me, can develop an AIR application. Sure that I will focus on skinning but I also want to look into the code apsects of it.

As my first AIR app I am trying to build a simple gallery, yes everybody is building a gallery - I know, but with this I will find a lot of help in the www.

Before I start to design or to code anything I quickly outline the requirements I have - As a user I would like to store my photos on my local machine and it should be quite easy to create a new photo album. Further I would like to see a picture and the albums name. The interface should be easy to use and should not compete with my images.

These are quite straight forward requirements, I will refine them as I will reach certain development steps.

Let’s see how I get on with it.
