I got my first real project, but unfortunately it's with a client who doesn't quite know what he wants, which makes it a bit difficult to interact with him.

Hello everybody, I did some sketchflow prototypes for a client. The client need the application to be "touchable" on a 19" display, so I would like to try to launch the prototypes in full screen on the display (as will the final application be).
