Justin Janczakowski - Onyx Mixer UI

 

In 2019, I was tasked with defining an interface for a new series of hybrid audio mixers. This was a flagship product, so the workflow and UI had to be dialed in to match.

What followed was tight integration with the engineering team and a whole lot of documentation.


Below are Some examples of task flows created for the main product features. From this, I also created a library of flowchart elements that could be reused in future projects, but I found these to be a too flashy and wound up simplifying them later on.

 
 

EXPLORING VISUAL DESIGN STYLES

Once the workflow was defined, I explored various UI concepts and garnered feedback from users and project stakeholders.

 

Additionally, I was able to validate concepts at true pixel scale using an Arduino-based prototype

 
 
 

PRODUCTION ASSETS

Once a concept was selected, I began producing pixel-perfect assets for the development team.

Below are excerpts from the extensive UI specification document I created for this project.


 

IN CONCLUSION…

This project was a success story about maintaining design intent from start to finish. It was one of the first UX/UI projects I completed at LOUD Audio, and it gave me a solid foundation for working with the development team there for future projects.
