My main goal with the Inrange+ redesign was to create an experience that immerses players in the fun, social, and competitive aspects of golf, while elevating the product to deliver a more polished and sophisticated experience. The new designs are centered around the use of sharp edges, vibrant colors, and dynamic textures & layouts with the aim of generating excitement and energy and giving the UI a fresh, modern look.
To do this, I drew inspiration from current UX design trends like glassmorphism, with its subtle frosted-glass effects that add depth and transparency to the interface. I also included principles of neomorphism, giving certain elements a soft, 3D appearance, blending shadows and highlights in a way that makes the interface feel interactive and alive. Subtle use of gradients was included to enhance the sense of dimension and vibrancy. The use of these UI design practices helped me strike a balance between playfulness and sophistication, with the aim of delivering both an imaginative yet refined product.
A key part of the redesign was also moving away from some of our old Inrange+ design language, which had a more youthful, video-game-like vibe. While our previous style was fun, it didn’t fully reflect the sleeker and more innovative nature we wanted to highlight in Inrange+. Still, preserving the user experience was paramount. I didn’t want players to feel as though they had to re-learn how to navigate the software, so I kept much of the original layout intact. Familiarity in navigation was crucial to ensure players felt comfortable while interacting with the updated design. A lot of the changes made are visual, not structural—allowing users to enjoy a refreshed interface while still having a seamless, intuitive experience.
Another focus was streamlining the visual identity between single-player and multiplayer modes. Borrowing elements from the single-player structure helped create a unified experience across the software. The goal was for both modes to feel like they’re part of one cohesive product, with shared navigation layouts making it easier for players to transition between them.
Ultimately, the redesign was about blending the excitement and social nature of Inrange+ with a sleek, sharp design. The aim was to create a UI that is modern, engaging, and user-friendly, while staying true to the core values of the brand.
Thanks for being a part of our journey. I hope our new look helps you enjoy Inrange+ even more—happy golfing.
