Makani is a functional concept for a modern-day skeuomorphic phone interface
Makani is a functional concept for a modern-day skeuomorphic phone interface
Old, yet curiously gold.
Taking cues from older design trends, Makani is an equilibrium between modern software and classic styling.
Motive
Palm Pre, 2009
BlackBerry Torch, 2010
Makani is a study of the design language manufacturers settled on during the late 2000s/early 2010s tech innovation boom. For a company such as Apple, the philosophy behind a skeuomorphic interface was to make a novel device feel more familiar to handle.While my aim for Makani isn't to make its design functional in a similar sense, it still attempts to be more eye-friendly, incorporating visuals that are more natural looking compared to the flat design we have in the modern world.Or you could just consider this to be a nostalgia project. You wouldn't be wrong.
Demo
You'll be able to demo Makani for yourself soon! To use it, you'll need Kustom Live Wallpaper (with the Pro key) and a suitable launcher.
