  7. iD Social

    image

    The company I work for, in8, is a startup specializing in audio and visual recognition technology. For some time we’ve talked about beginning work on a unified app for all types of recognition (audio, video, images, voice, 3d objects, etc).

    My goal was to make something fun, intuitive, and social. Challenges identified early on were making multiple recognition modes quickly, creating a social network around iDing, managing types of relevant content, and building things that could scale.

    The team and I began taking out pieces of this puzzle to bring our idea into sharper focus.

    We began by listing the data structures of what would be in the unified app. This helped to clarify what information was available to show on each screen and helped us decide what to favor in display data.

    I then did a comparative analysis of all our competitors in each space, built wireframes of what they were doing, and made recommendations on what direction would be of least resistance to a user. After this we figured out what the main sections and tabs would likely need to be. 

    image

    Once these wireframes were on paper, I began putting them into Omnigraffle, then Illustrator, adding layers of complexity through versioning.  Soon I ran into the pain points identified head on. We then went back asked ourselves what types of interactions users would be familiar with that would help to solve some of these problems.

    We took some ideas from Windows Metro. I felt a Vine style capture button could help us leverage image and video recognition without multiple mode switching. We decided that once you click on the tab to make a recognition, the app should automatically start listening for audio samples while looking through the viewfinder, with the option to cancel either.

    We followed the same process with all of the pain points we had and found ways to use interactions people would intuitively understand. Finally I fleshed out the final UI and am currently in the process of building more flows to show developers and product managers as we build.

  9. Find Something UI teaser

    This is a teaser for a project I’m getting psyched for. I designed the UI. Hopefully it will come to fruition soon as I think it’s a great and simple idea. Will update as things progress.

    Powwow is a recent event I started for my label Paxico Records. It’s a internet broadcast from a secret location in Brooklyn with live performances from the modern instrumental and beat scenes. 

    The branding totem is an offshoot of the Paxico Records brand which is a Native American name (and the town where I’m from in Kansas).
