ICON DESIGN

Finding a Ghost Icon to Fit Androids Theme

At first, I aimed to create a basic "Photo Overlay" icon, but the design resembled Android's "All Photos" icon too closely. This challenge pushed me to be more creative and align the design with the camera mode's name, "Ghost", which overlays a semi-transparent, ghost-like image on the viewfinder.

The icon began as a generic ghost but evolved into a fun design featuring the Android mascot (The Bot), tying the branding together seamlessly.

CTA (BEFORE)

Overlay Mode

Initially, I designed a simple, blended button for selecting the overlay photo, but it felt too easy to overlook.

CTA (AFTER)

Ghost Mode

To emphasize the call to action, I added a pulsating effect and a moving gradient, aligning it with Android's "Suggestions" button style.

RESET TO DEFAULT

All Adjustments in One Place

The reset button is in settings alongside transparency controls, keeping related adjustments in one place for a seamless user experience.

ADVANCED PROTOTYPING

Done on Origami Studio

This was my first experience with Origami Studio for prototyping, and it was both fulfilling and educational. I appreciated how it enabled detailed animations, fostering creativity and new opportunities to enhance the user experience.
