You can tell a lot about a designer by what they make when nobody’s paying them.

The side projects, the experiments, the “just because” work, that’s the real portfolio. 👌

Ray-Ban IROS campaign concept 👁️

👁️

[Sam ✦ @samabr06]

The IROS product uses infra-red light bands to heal the lipid layer of the eye in an arid and dry environment to promote tear production, as well as blasts IR light to cameras and surveillance devices to scramble them and protect the user’s privacy in this hyper-surveyed world.

More posters from my “a watched eye is a dry eye” campaign.

[Sam ✦ @samabr06]

My campaign forces people to disconnect from their “feed” and use their eyes, as the advertisements literally won’t load in their feed’s vision.

The campaign is designed to intimidate and be rebellious in nature.

Poster and advertisement campaign created for university project 👁️

This project made us develop a fictional Ray-Bans product for the year 2075 - where people work at night in hyper-surveyed, arid desert cities.

I never imagined I would see the day when Justin Bieber complains about UI design

[Justin Bieber @justinbieber]

If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time,

I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold

Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing

The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot

Microsoft’s chasing AI glory while Windows 11’s design quirks linger. Luckily, independent devs are doing the polish work, and this free app proves it. #Windows11 #Tech

Microsoft’s constant replacement of native apps with WebView2 is honestly concerning to say the least.. it’s crazy that a mega corporation with many developers and designers can’t create a stable, native experience in their own software, but independent developers with teams of 3+ people can create experiences that are way more native and stable than Microsoft can

[Windows Latest @WindowsLatest]

Ladies and gentlemen, the upcoming Calendar Agenda view in Windows 11 Notification Center is a... WebView2 component! 🎉

WebView2 is a Microsoft component that embeds web content (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) into Windows apps.

When Windows 11 shipped in 2021, it dropped support for many Windows 10 features as part of modernization efforts, including Outlook Calendar Agenda view in the Notifications Center.

Now, it's coming back, but it's going to be a WebView2.

[Sam ✦ @samabr06]

I also wanted to move around some elements to make them clearer and more hierarchical in the greater picture, such as the time the train will arrive on the right instead of a compact version seen in the first iteration

[Sam ✦ @samabr06]

Good design is iterative.

These designs form part of my upcoming redesign for the @TheGautrain app - excited to share more

[Sam ✦ @samabr06]

When redesigning this, my main concern was the “tracking” tag was not super visible to the user, so I redesigned it to create more contrast with the other elements by incorporating the accent colour of the rest of the UI.
