Unique Properties: The Code Titanium Alloy is an smartwatch face that tells the time via a feeling of the combination of postmodernism and futurism. It uses different forms of dots and patterns as a metaphor to keep the layout organised, guide the user experience, meanwhile, is also a dominant way for the futuristic style.
Dimensions & Packaging: The dimension of this design is 400 x 400px on Android watch, 360 x 360px on Samsung watch. It supports both round and square smartwatches.
Tags: futuristic, postmodern, elegant, business, casual, informative, golden, silver, alloy, titanium, premium, innovation
Production Technology: It started with a random graphic pattern when I was trying to make a modern looking background. After a few attempts, one of the patterns caught my attention, then it became the background pattern of this watch face. Combining with the highlight effect, it shows a very good match of the look of titanium. So I decided to import it into watch face layers. After a few times of choosing the suitable font. The design direction was confirmed.
Design Challenge: The hardest part of this design is to make the overall looking elegant and "come-from-future". I want to make it look more like a piece of material from the future, meanwhile it still tells you the time in a modern looking way.
Research: Nothing much about the research. The idea just came out suddenly from some graphic patterns. At that moment, I had the feeling of making it a futuristic watch face.
Inspiration: The inspiration is from the material: titanium alloy. Such material conveys the sense of future as well as the elegance. Besides, as the material of a watch face, it suits both business and casual purpose very well.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 in Singapore and finished in February 2021, and is released on Facer app in February 2021.
Operation Flow: The design is already released on Facer app. Go to Facer app or website (https://www.facer.io/u/artalex), search "Artalex", and look for the name "Code . Titanium". Click the "send to watch" button to sync the design into your smartwatch. You need the Facer app installed on your smartwatch.
