100 Days of UI Sounds

Day 6

Day 6: Structure Exploration

For this week I’m going to explore some different structures and shapes for the UI sounds I’m making. What can I make when the constraint is not what source material I use but rather what shape the gesture takes? This first set is a few different explorations of longer sounds. Usually in UI sound design you want to get out of the way quickly, especially with sounds that the user is going to hear a lot. But there are always exceptions.

While I like this set of sounds, I don’t think they’re completely successful and I’m going to experiment with making another set of longer sounds tomorrow.
