LECO needed a complete redesign of the user interface for its widely used elemental analysis instrument. The goal was to create a simple, timeless design that could be easily adapted to various devices with different screen sizes and orientations. Additionally, the redesign had to include three distinct themes—dark, light, and legacy—to accommodate diverse user preferences and environments. The challenge was to ensure the UI remained functional and intuitive while meeting these varied design requirements.
Overview
To meet these needs, I collaborated with a fellow designer to craft a modern, adaptable interface. We developed new icons, buttons, color palettes, and style guides, ensuring that the design was not only visually appealing but also highly functional. The three themes—dark, light, and legacy—were meticulously tailored to fit different user environments. I also worked closely with the development team to create detailed stylesheets, which served as reference materials for seamless implementation across different devices and screen sizes.
Solution
Original design on the analysis instrument
To gain a better understanding of the product, we visited LECO's facility and had the opportunity to ask experts some questions.
The redesigned UI successfully addressed LECO's need for a simple, timeless appearance that could be easily adapted across various devices. The inclusion of three distinct themes enhanced user experience by catering to different preferences, while the clear, consistent design ensured long-term usability. The project resulted in a highly functional, intuitive interface that supported LECO’s goal of delivering a globally-used, versatile instrument for elemental analysis.
