A challenging hurdle in the project was designing an infographic that could properly represent how the software analyzes data, redistributes data, and prescribes action cross-functionally.

Pictured below, is the original satellite-inspired graphic used for internal discussions.

It didn’t do a very good job of showing movement, at a glance one would assume whatever action the graphic was trying to convey was being sent outward from the hexagonal center.

Our initial redesign didn’t solve the movement issue. In fact, looking back at the first try at the design it became difficult not to unsee an airplane propeller. The infographic below was also designed when the brand’s color palette was broader.

We ended up delaying the creation of this graphic so we could focus on creating the rest of the website.
Distance helped and we returned with the final ‘helix mobius strip’ concept seen below.

It was the perfect and only choice to resolve this design challenge.

There could be no doubt in anyone’s mind that this graphic showed movement around three different cores. Regardless of one’s knowledge on tech, a user would take away that the inHovate solution provided and interconnected environment.

Hover effects and animation were used to fit large amounts of information into sections without making them too tall. It also served as way to prevent information overload for visitors that are trying to get a basic hold on the software.
