A conceptual redesign of the Assetto Corsa Content Manager desktop app, focused on improving responsiveness, interaction design, and information architecture. This project reimagines the interface to reduce friction and enhance usability, introducing an adaptive layout, reorganised settings, modern input patterns, and clear visual hierarchy for a faster, more intuitive user experience across all window sizes.
Identifying Core Issues
Navigation & Inputs
Adaptive UI Scaling
All essential settings are available no matter the window size by adapting user input types. Sliders change to buttons and text boxes, and secondary buttons attached to dropdowns are nested within the dropdown itself.
Surfaced Settings for faster setup
Tune, drive assists and track layout options are now immediately available within their respective panels.
To maximise space on smaller window sizes, option headings are nested within the dropdowns and non vital information (e.g. best recorded laps) are removed.
Modernising Without Disrupting
The redesign focused on refining the interface while respecting familiar workflows. Rather than reinventing the structure, I reorganised existing elements into a layout that improved clarity and usability, preserving what already worked for existing users.
Responsive Components with Consistent Identity
UI elements were designed with adaptive variants to suit different screen sizes while maintaining recognisability. For example, the temperature component retains its text box across all versions, ensuring consistency in both form and function.
Managing Information Density
With a UI reliant on dropdowns and advanced stats, establishing a clear hierarchy was essential. Spacing, alignment, and contextual visibility rules are used to reduce clutter and surface relevant information based on screen size and user priority.
