Synopsis
“Make It Simple As It Can Be” by Extra Design
The player design was based on the simplicity of the choice of colors (black and white), flexibility and ease of use…
Our concept was not to design a static video player that annoy you and only woke you up when this interacts. So we opted for a player where the buttons and typography are the protagonists.
The buttons stand out by a three-dimensional dynamism and by its graphic animation, and the serif font, bold italic georgia, in the title of the player holds the viewer with its grotesque value that opposes to all the minimal details.
These details include the desaturation of colors, choice of black as the predominant, defined as absence of color. In other words, was necessary to bring out the video from the player so this was not harmed by the presence of color. The published video will shine by the creativity of their authors.
