- Design Challenge
- 1)The accurate information transmission and the exquisite design.
2)The compatibility of the two production methods (print or injection molding) and the different sizes leads to restrictions on UI details. - Research
- Air products include ventilators, purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, etc. UI needs to display its functions intuitively, so that users can understand and operate easily. In addition to functions such as "wind speed", "humidification", and "dehumidification", air products also include additional functions such as "negative ions", "sterilization", "night light" and many composite functions. The difficulty of UI is to use a unified image to express a variety of complex functions.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from the button shapes of different products and the brand image of client. At the same time, the UI elements reflect the high quality of the products and enhance the brand image.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2020 in Ningbo and finished in November 2020 in ShenZhen, China.
- Operation Flow
- Elements can be printed on the product control panel, or they can be injected with LED lights to prompt consumers to press.
