Testing legibility
In order to maximise legibility at the furthest distance in the room, an out-of-home print-based formula was used to calculate the minimum x-height required of the typeface.
Based on the room's depth of 3m, the typeface's x-height will have to be a minimum of 6mm to be legible.
x-height
= viewing distance(mm) / 500
= 3000mm / 500
= 6mm
Testing was done on similar TVs with the same aspect ratio, determining the minimum font size required.

Modular scale
There were many factors that would impact the final appearance on screen – the source laptop and television's display settings, application's scale behaviour.
Using a modular scale to control font sizes in both design and implementation would provide more flexibility for testing.
Extracting more colours from the brand colours
Harmonies that create contrast are typically complementary, triadic, or tetradic on the colour wheel. In this scenario, a triadic harmony was applied on the brand’s primary colour, combined with an analogous harmony to extract additional supporting colours.
