Short: A Couple Miscellaneous Microsoft UX Projects
After posting a short time ago about the Windows Mobile 7 UX flow prototypes, I thought I would post a couple of other findings from UX/UI design company Jeremiah referenced named, SectionSeven (who has one of the coolest portfolio sites I’ve ever seen). These projects are fairly vague in reference, but this post is all about the visuals, so I’ll let them speak for themselves. Feel free to discuss!

A few things to note about the image above, there are a couple of comment bubbles that provide some relevant information:
“A set of 9 prototype CD sleeves for a Microsoft product group … each principle is illustrated using only a pile of pebbles. Pebbles represent all the little pieces of a person’s life [and] these pebbles were all placed and arranged by hand – pebble by pebble.”
Ouch, that last part sounds like a real painstaking process. They sure did produce some great-looking results, though!

I dig the pebbles. Thought they were some kind of colour-blind testing UI at first until I read the text and looked at the full-size image. Nice, though!
