My boss just designed this and asked me to implement it, without asking for any input.

I was a UX designer at my previous job. This makes me want to cry.

Wow, that randomly shifting vertical middle-line looks amazing! /s

... please....

White text on yellow. My favorite contrast lol.

Haha, multi sized arrows + small text big buttons. Is you’re boss blind?

cmo'n this is as clear as sewer's water!

And here I though that old Sony interfaces were dead

Is that a dude riding a BMX bike?

ew

He's testing you

Looks like a Chinese app for some "smart" gadget you buy off AliExpress.

At least the background ist consistent :|

@ynnk consistently awful, yes :D

You know that you're allowed to say "no", right?

@frickerg It’s cool we actually have a pretty good relationship. It wasn’t too hard to convince him of a better interface, it was just the way he approached it (that I’ve seen many times before in corporate environments) that bothered me.

The good news is I’ve basically taken over and have free reign to do what I want with it now. I came up with a much better gesture-based interface that is way more intuitive and looks like a real app. 😉

@lunorian No, he was doing my job for me, which is entirely different.

Anyway like I said we worked it out.

Except for the contrast I didn't apot what was wrong with it until I read the comments.
I really should stick to backend.

Well, usually they don’t know what to focus on. That’s why you are there.
They see: ok we need a pin code, then we need some overview, and da detailed views. This is the sketch. Go for it. Make it beautiful!

And it's still better than mid grey text on white.
