Visual Design
Drive user engagement with fresh, innovative visual design.
Good visual design is eye catching; outstanding visual design promotes and creates a positive user experience. Akendi uses graphic design best practices to enhance functionality, evoke positive feelings, showcase your brand and differentiate you from the competition. Our visual designers combine strategic insight with fresh, creative thinking to engage users and put you ahead of your competitors.
STAND OUT
Visual design creates a positive emotional impact on your user through the use of appropriate graphic elements, icons, colours and fonts. Akendi ensures they all work together to deliver the desired response, action or activity.
BLEND FORM & FUNCTION
Visual design should enhance rather than impede the user experience. We provide an aesthetically pleasing experience that gets you noticed and meets user requirements, perfectly fusing function and form to enhance the overall experience.
where to start
Whether your initiative demands the creation of a software application or a refresh, we begin by talking to senior stakeholders to understand your vision, mission, objectives, existing visual assets and the tone, voice and ultimate feel you wish to achieve with the user experience.
TIMING
The typical duration of a visual design project is 4-8 weeks.
how we do it
Once we understand what you are trying to achieve with your software app, we may conduct a competitive analysis to examine your industry and to understand your key differentiators and/or a brand audit to uncover your brand’s perceived strengths and weaknesses.
We typically develop several design concepts that uniquely and creatively express the vision you have for your software app. Once agreement is established on a creative direction, we create comprehensive page layouts and establish designs for key page templates.
