USER INTERFACE DESIGN
THE EXISTING APP
The existing 2014 app was severely outdated and distasteful
The redesigned version has a greater emphasis on functionality with a cleaner, more beautiful design. More recently I have created designs for a watchOS app, and have worked on Virgin Atlantic's brand design team for a variety of projects.
A REFRESHED DESIGN
This new design has a large focus on imagery, with a confident use of the Gotham typeface. This coupled with neat iconography and fun animations creates a clean, current aesthetic. The main navigation is now a collection of large images that passengers can scroll through, allowing for a more engaging experience; with room for many more features than a traditional 5-page menu. This overhaul brings a fresh, clean look that stays true to the Virgin Atlantic brand.
USER INTERFACE DESIGN
I designed this version of the app to provide a more intimate level of interaction. It features the same navigation and gestures used throughout watchOS so passengers get a consistent experience, but this interface has been dressed with Virgin Atlantic's unique flair.
a Joyful experience
As users swipe across pages, an aircraft pans across bringing a more joyous experience. Apple's San Fransisco Condensed typeface is used for consistency and legibility on a small screen. Notifications look vibrant with subtle twinkling stars, fun copywriting and brand colours.
TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR AT VIRGIN ATLANTIC
After sending my designs to Chairman Richard Branson and CEO Craig Kreeger, I was invited into Virgin Atlantic's Head offices to meet some of their key team members. I later joined the brilliant Brand Design team to work on a variety of projects for the airline.
