User centred (re)design and applicaton skinning

User centred (re)design and applicaton skinningLarger View

Nowadays the "sexiest" application often wins. Think about the ipod! In the fashion world, it is often said that "function is fashion", however, nothing could be further from the truth.

 

If you already have a functional version of your application and just need an updated, user-friendly look & feel, skinning is the best solution. A skin usually involves an aesthetic redesign of a product, software or website. Our designers will first make a proposal on the basis of a study of the user and market requirements. Afterwards, there will be a series of iterations on the chosen design, until we have the finalized version. It is an iterative process of designing, gathering feedback from the user, and refining.

 

The process gives us an opportunity to improve and perfect our work. Our iterative design approach enables us to work closely with you to ensure our design truly reflects business and user goals. From the finalized design, we make a detailed 3D design proposal, including all functional and usability requirements.

 

This new prototype is also a great tool for sales presentations and for streamlining the development process. Good design reflects the identity of a product. It communicates quality and professionalism and it distinguishes a product from the masses. Products must be functional and user-friendly, but also "experience-able".
U-sentric is convinced that design creativity is an integral part of good usability. We combine superior design with functionality and user-friendliness.

GUI Design

Graphic user interfaces have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives. We are confronted with them at work, during our leisure time. Complex procedures and an increased number of functions make design and structure extremely important. A GUI design with high aesthetic quality gives the product an attractive character and contributes to its branding. An attractive user interface can in this way enhance your corporate identity.

Industrial Design

Design and usability melt together forming ergonomically attractive products to experience. U-sentric pursues a holistic approach of industrial design and integrates both hardware and software. We offer our support from the first product proposal to the detailed preparation of 3D computer models, taking decisions on colours, ergonomics and interface structures at a very early product stage.

Package Design

Because of the current trend toward self-service in merchandising, the importance of packaging increases constantly. Packaging has to be attractive and user-friendly but package design is also how to minimize handling, how to improve logistics, how to use as little material as possible, what it feels like to unpack the product, how the packaging opens, how it explains itself and how it presents the goods inside.

Icon Design

An icon is communicating the right message from a small space. It is the visual interpretation of objects, functions or activities. Be it software, a website, or any other product, a discrete icon whose colour and form distinguish it from other similar icons contributes greatly to the overall impression your product makes and therefore also supports your corporate identity.
