Air Btn is a set of user interface elements designed for air treatment products such as ventilators, purifiers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers. The icons use widely understood symbols to show functions such as wind speed, humidification, sterilization and night light in an immediate way. Varied outline strokes give the elements a refined look and create a unified visual framework for the product family. The elements can be printed on control panels or made by injection molding with LED lighting. The smallest size is 6.4 by 6.4 millimeters.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The objective of the UI elements is to convey complex functions in a fast way. This simple design of general consensus symbols delivers the meaning of products' unique functions immediately. These clear UI elements not only represents effective user communication, but also meets the manufacturing requirements of various products. The different stroke of outline awards the UI elements an elegant feeling, and also creates an integrated visual framework for the product family.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- There are many kinds of size option for the elements. The minimal size is 6.4mm x 6.4mm.
- Tags
- UI, button, UI elements, air
- Production Technology
- Printing or injection molding.
- 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. - 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.
- 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.
