WHERE TO BEGIN?

Experiments 

We selected the top 10 queries on Google home and we embarked on a journey. Developing hundreds of screens and running multiple design sprints to develop design principles that make this experience unique addressing user needs for this device.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE 01

Glanceable

Information should be quick and easy to understand from mid-to-far field.



Think about it like designing
a billboard.

Use simplicity and low info density. Exagerrated contrast in typography, colors and layout.



Pay attention to size and scale.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE 02

Fluid

Keep the conversation going.
 UI should feel fluid and not forced.
 Use motion to adapt elements on the screen based on users command.

Fluid transitions: Use motion to create/navigate a clear user journey and help users understand components spatial relationship.


Transitions help to suggest users what their next command should be.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE 03

One_thing_at_ 
a_time

Use scale and motion to highlight the most important information when relevant. 

Instead of showing everything at once to the user. 

Serving the most important info and surfacing other relevant info on the secondary screen. 

Play of focus between background and foreground to highlight or push content proactively.
