Modern UI Concepts

[luk3ja]

I also think the circle buttons look better on the app bar but the circle outlines are burnt into my phone dislay!!! :O

Made a FB mockup awhile ago for another thread. Thought it would be relevant here as well.


I think Conner Monsees (UI designer for 6tag and 6sec) Conner Monsees on Behance has a really good grasp on all the variances of the Modern UI style. I really like his Verge and Pinterest concepts.

I think the pivot style works from some apps and allows for easier design porting from iOS and Android. The Modern UI allows for a lot of leniency for a lot of variance in design so I hope not every app starts using the pivot style (it'll get boring quick). As for the older header style, it has become quite an eye-soar in some apps, it makes it kind of messy (dark backgrounds w/ white text more so) *cough *cough ESPN *cough *cough. With all that said I'm really looking forward to see what the final official Instagram app will look like and how it will function.

One other thing... I really dislike the black bar that the official FB app uses just for the time. Either use the same color as the pivot bar or remove the clock display entirely or let it hover like in 6tag since it takes up a decent amount of screen real estate. Unfortunately it looks like the official Instagram app will have that black bar for the time.

Looks good. I love these concepts. Been thinking maybe we should have a subforum for them?

+1 A subforum or at least a sticky thread for concepts would be awesome!

Yea that would be great. Put me down for a +1 as well. I love looking at concepts and mockups. Doing this would make it that much easier to do so.

Good to hear there's interest!

Saw this new UI for the Android FB app: Facebook leak reveals UI improvements coming to Android app | Pocketnow



Looks like the mockup on this thread:



Funny how MS re-designed the WP FB app to make it consistent with other platforms and then FB changed them. So now we've got a FB app that doesn't really fit on WP and is still inconsistent with FB apps on other platforms.

I really hope MS implement a FB UI better suited to WP soon.
