The exciting life of a UI designer

Dragonflying again

,

After working on desktop polish and bugfixes this holiday season, I am switching back to do some work on Dragonfly. Last year I was part of our team working on a complete redesign. While I originally wanted it to be more vibrant and different, I am satisfied with a visual refresh for now. When we are finished it should be more powerful, crisp and consistent.

As part of the process earlier this year I did mockups of potential UI styles. Attaching a mashup of some of them below. My PSD file got so big I had to start splitting it up per iteration, I think we ended up with something like 27 variations before we were ready to implement.

Edit: Adding some slices that may make more sense.

Bizarre. It'd be interesting to see these individually.

the new dragonfly icon is really nice and it will give the possibility to access to opera dragonfly faster!
