Desktop Note App

Over the past few days, I have been working on a desktop note-taking application concept. The aim was to create a light UI that was easy on the eyes.

This was a really fun and challenging project with lots opportunities for subtle design decisions throughout the UI. I especially enjoyed creating these gradient borders which fade gently into the background. They help to created distinction without being too noticeable.

The icons for the element-block selector also received this gradient treatment - I like how they look as though they are emerging out of the mist.

I decided to challenge myself, not only to design the application UI but also to recreate the surrounding Windows operating system UI as well. This helps present the application in its natural environment. The taskbar, layout and icons are all carefully recreated in Figma.

Thanks for viewing this project! I plan to continue building upon this design by exploring the different menus, buttons and editor states.

It would be great to get some feedback from your guys! I'd love to hear your thoughts and constructive criticism.

Thanks again!
