Fluent design language
Fluent Design language (project name Neon) is design system for creating adaptive, empathetic, and beautiful user interfaces. To get the aspects of real environment (3 dimensional) to digital space (2 dimensional), we have explored design with light, material and depth in actual space.

1.Studies of elements
Captures and studies in the transformation of physical elements.
Bring materiality to the digital
Create Physical & Digital harmony
Amplify the experience
Layering
​
Explore the interaction between layers, the transition of colors and the motion of depth. Explore the solidity and physicality of color collisions.

​
​
Organic transition and movement of color, growing color, depth, level of transparency, blending, gradient, transmission, diffusion, edge glow

Tactility
​
Explore the motion of the visual perception of color and material.

​
​
Motion of glow, fast and slow transition

Amplified color
​
Explore the journey of an amplified color (saturation)

​
​
Gradient, blending, Intensify/amplify, Building up of color. Level of color and emotion, Highlights

2. Depth of field
Explorations on the visual application based on current studies
Experiment with depth, focus and materials


Focus in physical environments



Shadow casts in physical environments
Shadow casts in shallow depth

Shadow casts in deep depth

Transfer into digital surface

Scale changes in physical environments

In order to suggest depth color values are important.
Nearby objects are seen as having more contrast and more saturated colors.
As the distance of an objects increases, its color and shading will be perceived with less contract and less saturation
3. Material studies
Materials in physical environments




How material effect shadow color

Direct transfer into digital surface
Transfer into digital surface
4. Apply to design
