Building better products

Creative direction

Look & Feel

In product design this is often referred to as the “look and feel”. It sets the tone, visual style, and overall aesthetic of a product, ensuring consistency and alignment with the brand's identity, and user expectations. A successful creative direction in UX and UI requires a deep understanding of the target audience, their needs, and behaviors. It involves making informed design choices, such as selecting colors, typography, and layout, to evoke specific emotions and guide users through a seamless journey. By harmonizing functionality with aesthetics, creative direction has the power to elevate user engagement, build brand loyalty, and ultimately deliver delightful interactions.

Creative direction is essential in design systems: guiding vision and aesthetic. It unites typography, color, icons, imagery, layout; building consistency, identity, and shapes cohesive, impactful visual language. View examples in the work page
