7
Q
- RIM P1
A
- When I was working at RIM, I was assigned to work with different designers and I was lucky enough to be able to take part of many different projects from smaller scale ones such as re-rendering icons to larger scale projects like actually be able to do some iconography and some UI design.
8
Q
- RIM P2
A
- One of my earlier projects involves heavily in rendering icons and making sure they are pixel perfect for all the different resolution of the different devices out there. At the time I was working there, they were about to do an overhaul update on most of the graphics.
9
Q
- RIM
A
- Here is another example of some of the icon sets that underwent the re-rendering process showed earlier.
- They really want me to understand the idea of ‘pixel perfect’ first
- Then my next assignment got a little more interesting, I was to redesign and revamp all the major emoticons for BBM along with the next release.
10
Q
- RIM P1
A
- This is a dynamic icon they wanted to implement for the next OS, which back then was the OS 5.2. The design goals for this were to allow users to get the essential point by having a quick glance at the icons, and to make the icons look more intelligent
- So this was a concept dynamic icon for the Wifi Connection icon.
11
Q
- RIM
A
- Here is another concept for the dynamic icons for Browser using the globe itself as a show progression, and allow users to see when the page is loaded.
12
Q
- RIM p1
A
- One of the project I had fun working with was to redesign the BrickBreaker Interface. The original interface poses a linguistic reference problem, and localizing it was too difficult, and a graphical solution was requested.
13
Q
- RIM p2
A
- And the goal of it was to find visual representation for each of the 4 previously text-based elements on the UI and we also wanted the new layout to not look like it was just a quick fix to the problem.
- So in the final version here, I added a gap there to distinguish clearly between the current game scores and the hi-score and used icons to replace ammo and lives.
14
Q
- RIM
A
- Here is another look at it for the devices with vertical screens. It didn’t take as long since the design language was base off the horizontal design.
15
Q
- RIM
A
- My biggest achievement while working at RIM was to be able to actually do some iconography design for their OS6 release, mainly for the options and setting screens. And I was actually fortunate enough to be named one of the inventor of a design patent.
