FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
YL: My inspiration for ‘Moulin Rouge’ project was based on the film named Moulin Rouge released in 2001 and travel experience in Paris around 3 years ago. Especially, Moulin Rouge close to Montmartre is one of the famous and the loved tourist attraction, offering musical dance entertainment for visitors from around the world. With this subject, I tried to visually express the mood of the Moulin Rouge in a UI design for people, which have never been in the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

YL: I will further develop this project by changing and adding details for next galaxy cellphone users.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
YL: It took several months from deciding the design concepts to launching it on theme store.

FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?

YL: I wanted to make a project that anyone can use my design around the world. At this point, mobile UI design could be one of the most effective way I would like to try.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
YL: While working on the project I got great help and motivation from Hio Studio and Mindon Design.

FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
YL: The name ‘Moulin Rouge’ is from one of the most famous tourist attraction named ‘Moulin Rouge’ in Paris. It means red windmill.

FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
YL: Before beginning the design process, I researched market observation and analyzed styles that customers prefer in their mobile phone UI/UX design. Based on the specific research, it was discovered that user preference varied according to age, gender and nationality. Therefore, Moulin Rouge project should satisfy various user preferences and express the social and cultural value of Moulin Rouge itself.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
YL: One of the most significant challenges was to visualize the mood of the Moulin Rouge in the user interface design, which is to be attractive and enjoyable. It also needs to be simple and easy to use for its customers. To satisfy various people, all the factors of the design should be adjusted with deliberation.
