The Challenge Awaits
What if your earbuds could look more unique than ever? Go beyond the traditional designs and craft an interface that’s as captivating as the earbuds themselves.
The Conflict
These earbuds needed more than the typical promotion strategies— they demanded something visually demanding.
The challenge was to create a pair of earbuds, and then promote them through an interactive webpage and video for my earbud design. Users needed to be able to see the product in AR view, X-Ray view, and kept engaged with interesting scroll animations that are reflective of the modern webpages for earbuds.
Searching for the One
Gathering inspiration is all part of the process that drives me. Exploring and playing with different idea’s— no matter how wild— is how great idea’s are born.
With no restraints on design choices, it was important to craft something that excited me and those around me. So, I scoured Pinterest and concepts that got the gears in my mind turning, until I found the one.
Bringing Ideas to Life
From initial sketches to polished models, the design came to life step by step.
Sketching and wireframing laid the groundwork for intuitive designs. Animations were integrated to emphasize seamless transitions and the brands serpentine elegance, evolving into polished AR models.
Testing the Magic
Getting feedback allowed me to see my project from a different perspective, and refine it to it’s full potential.
Feedback from professors, family members, friends, and classmates were all very positive when it came to the overall idea of the serpent design of the earbuds. Area’s that needed improvement came down to fine details in the website and lighting choices for the promotional imagery. Refining the webpage to give more access to detailed information ensured the functionality of the promotional page was met beyond aesthetics.
Reflection on Journey
The project emphasized the importance of storytelling in Motion/UI/UX design. I learned to balance functionality with branding, ensuring every user interaction felt purposeful and engaging. The iterative process also strengthened my skills in coding and animation.
