A Design Consultancy: The Tim Design Perspective

Timilehin Adesanya September 15, 2021 0

Developing from the design perspective activates impactful messaging from a brand. As a global digital consultant, I work with a variety of clients to develop branding, graphic and web design that elevate brand messaging and overall design. In my experience, an effective brand vision is ideally portrayed from a visual design perspective from a design system created with several components in place. It is important to take a contextual approach with visual and narrative creative assets in mind. User personas, journeys, and pathways are then developed throughout the design phase with focus placed on the aesthetic and how it will reflect the brand.

My Process 

Leveraging research, creativity and strategy is key when evaluating company opportunities and brand design requirements. In a collaborative, iterative process, attention to color, voice and tonality are combined in developing a suite of creative assets for the client. Best-practices and proven solutions lead to a truly user-centered and designed focused experience. Driven by both skill and magic, my approach generates engagement at just the right moment by creating connections and authentic brand resonance.

Enhancing User Experience Through Design 

User experience and design process work together to create significant messaging. The user-centered perspective is the starting point in web design and brand development. Designing for the user creates experiences that are impactful and emotionally engaging. Brand interaction design is both an art and a science to create an end result that is impactful for the audience and brand itself.

Creating an Impactful Brand

Developing a brand begins with mapping the brand value propositions and experiential touch points, while identifying user personas and core objectives. Everything from documents, office supplies, and other forms of internal communication can be designed to unite your company. Having a consistent brand aesthetic is critical for visibility in the marketplace, building relationships, engagement and conversion.

Developing from Design Perspective 

I design marketing material for the brand audience and consumers. Often times there can be a disconnect between the brand and the audience, simply based on design integration. Creating these key design components builds brand authenticity and value for the audience when presenting a brand to the marketplace.

It is important for a brand to position itself as an expert in the products or services offered by developing validators through design. Creating these touch points create relationships with consumers, develop trust and impact conversion rates.

Dark Mode: The Dark Thoughts on User Experience

Timilehin Adesanya April 7, 2020 0

Halfway through last year, tech empire Apple announced at its Worldwide Developers Conference that it would be unleashing the Dark Mode visual format on iOS. Deemed as more favorable on the eyes in low-light environments, this feature would enable iPhone users the option for an alternate color scheme on their mobile devices that creates an inverted viewing experience. Up until that point in June 2019, Dark Mode was only available with MacOS on Mac computers (which began in September 2018).

When it comes to UX, options reign supreme. Apple’s announcement was a milestone sparking new possibilities for users and third-party developers alike. Long defined by a sleek white visual format that users have become so comfortably familiar with, Apple’s reinforcement of Dark Mode on smartphones has symbolized growth and progress in the evolution of user experience. Android, along with Instagram and Gmail, followed in those footsteps shortly thereafter. This display option has become a catalyst for empowering users to absorb information in a format that’s maybe more suitable, but different nonetheless.

Research suggests that the average person spends about 3 hours and 15 minutes per day on a smartphone, with the top 20% of smartphone users spending more than 4.5 hours a day on their devices. These approximations are only scratching the surface, not even accounting for screen time spent on televisions, computers, tablets, etc. Science shows that the human eye is more used to positive polarity characterized by light-on-dark readability. Thus, emergence of the Dark Mode theme becomes an interesting concept that’s relevant for 3.5 billion smartphone users globally.

More than anything, the Dark Mode theme has had a profound, immense impact on the user’s ability to mitigate risks of excessive screen staring.

“Looking at tablets and phones, there’s pretty good evidence that doing near work can cause lengthening of the eye and increase risk for myopia. We’re all worried that virtual reality might make things worse,” says Martin Banks, optometry professor at University of California-Berkeley.

With classic bright white tech screens feeding into these concerns and causing other short-term complications like blurry vision or headaches, Dark Mode is meant to protect eyes by decreasing eye strain and causing less fatigue. Additionally, artificial bright white light dampens sleep-inducing neurons and suppresses elicitation of the sleep hormone melatonin. Thus, healthier sleep habits can become an organic result of transitioning to Dark Mode as there will be less disrupting circadian rhythms. With Dark Mode, late-night screen sessions aren’t as damaging, physically or mentally.

Dark Mode also has the potential to save mobile device battery life. If a mobile phone incorporates an AMOLED display that powers off and un-illuminates black pixels, as well as true, hex black –– #000000 –– for the majority of the dark theme, battery life could be optimized. These display settings however must also be complemented by high contrast colors for text, buttons and accents.

While readability and technical functionality can be boosted with Dark Mode, critics may be skeptical about the theme’s accessibility for all users. Although there aren’t any particular health consequences associated with Dark Mode (yet), people with certain kinds of color blindness may find the inverted theme of Dark Mode more difficult to view. The reduction of harsh blue light may not be as easy on the eyes for this audience, and Dark Mode is not recommended for any audience in a dimly lit environment.

Regardless of which perspective the user favors, it’s always important to be aware of best practices and “alternate journeys” so to speak. Dark Mode serves as a strong example of how subliminal details can really matter in UX. Many will claim Dark Mode is more of a personal preference than a visual necessity, but the advantages are apparent and mostly outweigh the disadvantages.

Ultimately the user will end up influencing Dark Mode’s popularity and propensity for success as modern technology and mobile devices continue to advance mightily. The future of user experience has undoubtedly arrived, and it’s time to consider Dark Mode as the standard rather than the alternative.
