Outosia - Fintech Application
About Outosia
This minimalist design features a personal finance portfolio with a clean, modern interface and a simple color scheme reduced to gray tones. Key features include an intuitive dashboard, interactive charts for spending and investments, a comprehensive expense tracker, and tools for setting and monitoring savings goals. The design emphasizes simplicity, readability, and ease of use, catering to both novice and experienced users. Your feedback is invaluable as I refine this concept.
Colors
The color palette for this project was chosen to evoke a sense of modernity and sophistication. I incorporated a mix of bold, vibrant hues paired with subtle, muted tones to create visual hierarchy and draw attention to key elements. Each color was carefully selected to enhance readability and user engagement, ensuring a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design.
The use of contrasting colors also aids in accessibility, making the interface easily navigable for all users. The final design balances warmth and professionalism, resulting in a dynamic and engaging visual experience. Each web element’s color was selected from a comprehensive color collection following multiple tests. This limited color palette ensures consistency, ease of management for both designers and developers, and simplifies any necessary changes.
In my Figma design system, I begin with a pool of primitive colors. From this collection, I create semantic color palettes tailored to various requirements. This approach simplifies management and updates for both designers and developers, ensuring a cohesive and adaptable color system throughout the project. This ensures consistency and ease of use, making adjustments straightforward and efficient.
Typography
Typography played a crucial role in shaping the user experience for this project. I selected Inter for its clarity, readability, and modern sans-serif aesthetics, making it an ideal choice across different screen sizes. The hierarchy was meticulously crafted using varied font weights and sizes to guide the user’s attention through the interface.
Kerning and line-height were adjusted to ensure optimal legibility and a polished look. Each sub-project (website, web application, and mobile app) in the main project uses a carefully selected font stack from a larger font library designed using a minor third type scale.
The typography choices complement the overall aesthetic, enhancing the visual appeal while maintaining functionality and ease of use.
Spacing and Breakpoints
Spacing and breakpoints were integral to the design, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices. I employed my own custom grid system and space value framework, which closely mimics the 8-point grid system, to maintain consistency and balance.
This provided ample whitespace to avoid clutter and enhance readability. Breakpoints were strategically defined to adapt the layout fluidly, ensuring the design remains intuitive and accessible on mobile, tablet, and desktop. The careful consideration of margins, padding, and alignment contributed to a clean, organized interface that enhances the user's overall experience.
