A Concept User Interface for Touchscreen-based Mobile Devices

Project Summary
This project was borne out of a need to design a user interface that would remedy problems I have perceived with user interfaces of the major mobile platforms (Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows Phone).

I have since continued to work on the interface. Its present form is an evolution of the original designs sent to Nokia. 

The objective of the project was and still is to create an easy to use interface that requires no more than two taps or gestures to access every feature or function from absolutely any point or part of the interface. The result is a simplistic and intuitively laid out interface that retains all the functionality expected from a premium platform; an interface that is ergonomically superior to all other platforms.

Many people, corporations, and bodies publish these big numbers to signify their relevance or perceived success. But what does it all mean exactly?
