PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It started with a random graphic pattern when I was trying to make a modern looking background. After a few attempts, one of the patterns caught my attention, then it became the background pattern of this watch face. Combining with the highlight effect, it shows a very good match of the look of titanium. So I decided to import it into watch face layers. After a few times of choosing the suitable font. The design direction was confirmed.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The dimension of this design is 400 x 400px on Android watch, 360 x 360px on Samsung watch. It supports both round and square smartwatches.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Nothing much about the research. The idea just came out suddenly from some graphic patterns. At that moment, I had the feeling of making it a futuristic watch face.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of this design is to make the overall looking elegant and "come-from-future". I want to make it look more like a piece of material from the future, meanwhile it still tells you the time in a modern looking way.
