Vector Base Station

Vector Mockups Of The Base Station

Here are some mockups of the Base Station rendered in a vector application.
It shows the main Base Station screen, plus internet browser and options screens.
Please note that these horrible bright solid colours are not the final look.

The buttons on the web browser are; Back, Files (i.e My Computer/Finder) and eMail.

These images are only of the Base Station (inc. Web Browser) and does not show the main interface (i.e. Files)

Base Station Designs

Design For The Initial Screen

The project is mainly about new ways of interacting with something and thinking about it, my designs lack anything much in the way of new OS interactions.

So I came up with these designs for what I call the “Base Station”, as soon as the OS boots you would be presented with the Base Station a GUI sliced into three main parts.

1. Files (access to “My Computer”)

2. Internet (access to the web browser and eMail)

3. System/Options (access to system preferences)

+ A log-off/shut-down button in the bottom right hand corner

Below the sketches for the Base Station and Options panel is a  possible web browser design,

a little to similar is Google Chrome?

My idea for the use of scroll-bars is similar is Mac OS X Lion, accept they are never ever seen.

So my only real concern is that the idea for the Base Station maybe too much like the Metro UI in Windows 8.

Please leave me a comment, letting me know if you think the design is too similar to Windows 8 Metro or if you think the web browser is too similar to Google Chrome.
