Dialshop

Interacting with the screen causes one of three interface of dials appear. Users may use these sets of dials for photo editting purposes.

Manipulating RGB color values are essential to image editting 

Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation are integral design elements in photography

Adding filters is a dramatic way to transform imagery

Storyboard

Animatic

Early sketches depicted this project as a smart interactive picture frame capable of editing images. The slider user interface lacked a striking visual identity, so an alternative interface was needed.  

Visual Research & Development

Because dials are simple and function inuitively, they were selected for this project's unique interface, and became the main focal point of visual research.

Synthwave/Outrun was the chosen style because it helps showcase the broad range of photo editing with just an interface of dials.

After considering a variety of photos, a geometric landscape was selected because the visual effects have more impact and are more apparent compared to an organic landscape.

Conclusion

After extensive visual research and design experimentation, the new context for this interface became a much larger screen in order to be a more memorable experience.
