Project Description & Brief📝

This projects goal was to design a standard and scientific calculator specifically for mobile devices. The objective was to create a clean, functional, and visually appealing calculator interface that maintains a balance between usability and aesthetics.

Target Platform 📱

✅ Designed specifically for mobile devices with the standard calculator designed in portrait mode and the scientific calculator designed in landscape mode for better usability.

✅ This is optimized for one-handed use with intuitive button placement.

✅ Considers touch-friendly interactions with appropriate button sizing and spacing.

Functional Design Decisions 🎯

💡What problems does this design solve?

✅ Provides a clean and clutter-free interface for quick calculations

✅ Ensures large, easily tappable buttons for accurate input

✅ Uses visual hierarchy to differentiate numbers, operators, and actions

💡How does this design improve usability?

✅ Color-coding differentiates main function keys from numeric keys

✅ Clear button labels for intuitive interactions

✅ Consistent spacing and grid alignment for easy readability

Visual Hierarchy and Layout 📐

✅ Grid-Based Layout: Ensures uniform spacing and alignment.

✅ Large Display Screen: Prioritizes readability of input/output.

✅ Prominent Action Buttons: Easy access to AC (All Clear), and Equals (=).
