I really loved the logo treatment at the start of your project. It projects a powerful light, trustworthy and vibrant feeling.
Yet, when you applied that to the interfaces most of it was lost. Instead those emotions, what I'm seeing is a very dark interface without much emotion.
- There's some combinations that don't pass for color contrast (eg: the body text in the landing page), and others that barely pass (eg: the border color on secondary buttons or cards, overall the primary shade against the darkest shade used in the background of the app
- Using just a shade of the primary color on the borders does not make those cards stand out and be perceived perfectly. I'd suggest having a fill on them to make them stand out from the page background.
- Card outlines and secondary button outlines are visually too close to create some confusion
- It could benefit from adding a secondary color, otherwise you have to stretch that blue too far and there's just a very limited amount of ways to combine them with white/black. That probably contributes to the app interface looking, overall, bland and some UI elements not being emphasized enough
I think it's a good first try, but there's lots of potential from that amazing logo treatment to make something that really stands out! ✨ I would highly encourage you to try again and see how you can translate that into an app interface 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Good job, Martin! You’ve done an impressive amount of work in just a day—well done! I hope you’re considering some improvements, as there’s definitely room to make your designs even better. Here are some of my suggestions:
- Add a description for typography: You didn’t mention the font you used, which leaves us wondering about the specific typography choice. Including this information would be helpful.
- Ensure consistent functional colors: The functional colors feel inconsistent, giving the impression they were randomly picked. In the first row, the green appears too bright, the red too dull, and the yellow too faded. In the second row, the green seems dark enough and the red aligns better, but the yellow appears much brighter than the others.
- Improve the display of accent colors: Currently, the accent colors don’t transition smoothly, which disrupts the flow. Consider displaying them horizontally rather than vertically for a more cohesive look.
Overall, it’s a solid start with great potential. Keep refining it, and it’ll shine even more! 🌟🤩
