Inspired by the post When Visual Style Gets In The Way, I sat down for an hour and worked on these designs for the iPhone’s Voice Memo app.
I wanted to increase the user feedback, make the interface easier to understand and ditch the 50′s microphone. I like labels on my icons and wanted to exploit the crisp display on the device.

Recording a voice memo
Do you think it’s an improvement?
