IQ Touchscreen Audio Components - ROLE: Industrial Design
User Interface Design
System Architecture
TASK: Design a set of audiophile grade components
that have no buttons. Give them all of the
same functionality of traditional components
and make it easier to use. (The Wife and kids
should be able to operate it.) Make the Design
Bold, Clean, and Modern.
SOLUTION: I Designed the components with a
uniform background color to allow
the controlls to be more intuitive. I
simplified the UI tremendously by
eliminating the need for a plus and
minus on every controll. Instead I
allow the user to select the function
they want and user the universal
plus and minus control. The ID is
a timeless, clean aluminum design.
I designed the media server so that
the entry to load DVD's and CD's is
hidden. The LCD Display flips down
and reveals the load slot.
