Congo - Designing The Screens
Moving to a graphical interface opened a lot of possibilities. Color, graphics, local menus,
toolbars...
Interviews led us quickly in a different direction. The main input we got from all roads of
experience was
"Don't clutter the screens. We want only the necessary information at
a glance, and only colors for important stuff."
True enough. Local menus, toolbars and colors were skipped for the simple concept of the
Browser. We took aboard graphical designer wiz Peppe Tannemyr from Beacon to create an
environment that used color only when necessary, that had nothing to do with office
computer environments, and everything to do with lighting.
