Matlab designs by Tim Smith
Posted By Yair Altman On July 15, 2015 | No Comments
Matlab has undergone significant facelifts in recent years: Matlab Mobile (first introduced [3] in 2010, with various upgrades [4] since), R2012b’s new desktop toolstrip [5], various Matlab Central’s website facelifts (example1 [6], example2 [7]), R2014b’s new graphics system (HG2) [8], Matlab on the Web (MOTW) [9], and Matlab’s upcoming GUI framework (AppDesigner [10]). That’s quite a lot of UI designs, new and overhauled, over a relatively short timespan.
Designer Tim Smith (designbytimsmith.com [11]), is apparently responsible for many of the sleek UI designs, working with MathWorks’ internal User Experience (UX) team. Tim’s website showcases his work, philosophy, and design process for Matlab’s AppDesigner [12], Desktop toolstrip [13], Matlab Mobile [14], and Matlab on the Web [15].
I highly recommend reading what Tim has to say about these designs, as well as other designs that he created for other clients. Impressive work indeed.
Formerly a MathWorks visual designer, Tim left MathWorks in 2012 to join PayPal, and currently works at Google. designbytimsmith.com [11] has no contact page, and Tim is apparently very secretive about his email address, which is a bit odd for someone who was the design lead for Google’s new Inbox product. Anyway, you can contact him via his LinkedIn profile [16] or Google+ page [17].
If you want to get a feel for what Matlab might look like down the road, simply head over to Tim’s website.
Enjoy!
