Embracing Creativity and Simplicity with TESSR's User-Friendly Interface

Who says studio and work management has to be tedious? At TESSR, we believe that managing people, processes and projects should be an enjoyable and creative experience. In this article, we will explore how TESSR defies work management norms with its intuitive and easy to use UI, bringing a dash of fun to every creative project.


TESSR's tile-based user interface is more than just a design choice, it's a celebration of creativity. Unlike uninspiring spreadsheets, TESSR transforms project components into vibrant and interactive tiles. Each tile represents a crucial element of your project, from tasks to timelines and resources.


Tile-based Design: User-friendly Interaction

Research has shown that a tile-based user interface enhances usability and user experience. Inspired by these findings, TESSR adopts a tile-based design, providing users with an intuitive and visually engaging platform.


The flexibility of this approach is demonstrated by the following key features:


Scene Tile

TESSR Scene Tile; Play & Review Scene, Set Scene Deadline, Assign Scene to Artist, Update Scene Status
Scene Tile

The Scene Tile serves as a visual shortcut to essential actions within TESSR. This tile contains functions of scene playback, due date tracking, status updates, and assignments. Just as users can swiftly decipher the content presented on a card interface, the Scene Tile allows artists to access critical scene-related information at a glance and in a user-friendly manner.


Playlist Tile

Drawing inspiration from Eleken’s highlight of “small chunks of information…are easy to consume,” the Playlist Tile offers users a simple and visual overview. Hovering over the tile reveals detailed controls, similar to the easy-to-understand nature of UI cards. This design ensures that users can interact with the interface without feeling overwhelmed.




Fun Elements: The World of Tilemojis

At TESSR, we understand the importance of making the user experience fun. Just as Google's creative Google Doodles capture users' attention on special occasions, we've introduced our very own Tilemojis to add a touch of playfulness throughout the application.


Tilemojis serve as a bridge between usability and interaction, enhancing the overall user experience. These simple yet engaging visual elements create an environment that goes beyond mere functionality, adding a layer of creativity and engagement that resonates with creative teams in the animation industry.


Simplicity: Navigating with Ease

Simplicity lies at the core of TESSR's design, as we believe that an interface should be effortlessly accessible to all users. Regardless of project complexity, our card-based design ensures effortless browsing.


Cards naturally unfold as users scroll or interact with them, providing a coherent flow of information. Moreover, strategic element sizing enhances content hierarchy, enabling important details to stand out.


In today's cluttered digital landscape, the power of minimalist design cannot be overstated. TESSR embraces a clutter-free interface by utilising the tidiness of card-based design. Our Playlist Tile is a great example of this approach. Each tile neatly contains different buttons and interfaces, which makes it easy to use.


So, why settle for traditional management tools when you can embark on a journey with TESSR? Unlock your team's creative potential and be your very own animation task master. Say hello to TESSR, where collaboration meets fun, and work management becomes an art of its own.
