Daily UI Design Challenge

When: 2017

Design exercise based on the Daily UI challenge.
Limit the time spent to <1 hour.
Since I create UI/UX related to technical products on a daily basis, my personal challenge was to contrast my day-to-day and release some artistic expression.

I was inspired by Electronic Sound and created quick 8-bit figures of Berlin’s Ampelmann and used free fonts from DaFont. Sarcasm and references to the song Selfie and Zero Wing.

I was thinking outside of the desktop and mobile confines of credit card purchases. For example, console and PC games often have in-app purchases – what would that look like if a game didn’t use the Steam or Xbox store? Also, what would be the use case of credit cards in the future?
Here’s a quick concept sketch of my HUD (Heads up display) for game/future purchase screen with a unique spiral UI (paired with use of a console controller or future input device). Or would a HUD UI like this just appear on digital contacts?

I created a landing page for the now defunct and predominantly instrumental band that I was in for 4 years as bass player. We coined the music as “neo-surf blues”. Our influences included Surf, Blues, and Rock: Freddy King, The Ventures, Dick Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, CCR, Link Wray, and ZZ Top. Hence the modern surf theme.
Features 3 of our original songs, which you can still hear on MySpace.
I envisioned the circles and blue lines animatedly moving up and down the page.

I focused on a new interaction feature for a mobile scientific calculator that would allow users to customize which functions would be most easily accessible.

I combined my appreciation of Piet Mondrian and love of tangrams! It also reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright.
