Let’s be honest here: this is a tiny screen we’re talking about here.
96 pixels wide × 24 pixels tall, to be exact. Pure black and white, no color, not even any grays. The HERO4 Session camera proved to be a very unique challenge for me as a visual designer who had just come from Disney Interactive.
But I stuck with it, and after more than a year of hand-drawing letters, numbers, and icons with a 1-pixel pencil tool in Photoshop, I had the opportunity to take on some interaction design for the mini camera’s successor.
