JiWire was one of the first to have a Mac widget and jumped on the opportunity to build one for Yahoo! when they launched their own desktop widgets. The JiWire widget for Yahoo! had the additional feature of maps. For this project, I designed both the interaction design carried over from the Mac version, and visuals. The screens above show (1) the minimized state displaying a signal strength, network and whether or not the user’s connection was “secure” or not and (2) a screen for searching Wi-Fi hotspots. The screen below is displaying the search results from a hotspot search and a map detail for a selected hotspot.
Picture your next project looking like a million billion dollars. Not only do you want to look like a billion dollar company, you want to show a great user experience that is simple, clear and elegant. So think about this: How much is your interface worth?
