A design exploration of user interface layouts for Crestron's VTPro platform, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and usability in complex AV control environments.

A design exploration of user interface layouts for Crestron's VTPro platform, emphasizing clarity, consistency, and usability in complex AV control environments.
AV control systems often contain dense information and sprawling control sets, making it difficult for users to find, identify, and actuate the right control quickly—especially in live or performance contexts where timing matters. The goal was to design UI mockups that reduce cognitive load, clarify hierarchy, and improve scanability without sacrificing functional depth.
Mapped out the core control functions and user tasks typical of Crestron system workflows | Created a suite of high-fidelity screen mockups that organize controls into logical groupings with clear hierarchy | Explored visual distinctions (size, color, spacing) to strengthen affordances and reduce ambiguity | Produced clean, presentable assets suitable for stakeholder review and iterative feedback
Improved legibility and visual consistency in AV control interfaces | Delivered artifacts that facilitated more productive discussions with stakeholders | Created repeatable layout patterns that can inform future Crestron UI decisions
In high-density control environments, clarity and structure trump visual flair—users succeed when hierarchy and grouping guide their attention.
