What it is
Design concepts establish how an idea could look, feel and behave through focused visual and interaction exploration.
Ideas made tangible before production decisions harden.
Early visual and interaction concepts that establish how an idea should look, feel and behave before production begins.
Design concepts establish how an idea could look, feel and behave through focused visual and interaction exploration.
They are useful when a team needs to compare directions, align around an emerging proposition or test the character of an experience before committing to production.
The work reduces vague feedback, exposes assumptions early and creates a shared design direction that later disciplines can apply consistently.
A coherent visual and experiential point of view grounded in the brief and audience.
Distinct design routes that make strategic differences visible enough to compare.
Focused prototypes showing how key moments could behave, sequence and respond.
Typography, colour, image and motion principles organised for later development.
Define the question each concept must answer and the constraints that matter.
Develop genuinely different directions instead of cosmetic variations of one answer.
Evaluate concepts against intent, audience, distinctiveness and feasibility.
Strengthen the chosen direction into principles another discipline can use.
