Interaction design · FYERS · 2024–25
I picked up the Take a Break redesign and pushed it further. Now traders can step away and know their money is safe.
The Take a Break card inside the FYERS web Profile, Segments tab.
The feature
Some days a trader needs to stop: fatigue sets in, or the losses get heavy. Take a Break is the action they choose for themselves. One toggle in Profile, confirmed with an OTP, disables every trading segment until the end of the market session, so no new trade can be placed. Their existing holdings stay untouched, and trading resumes on the next trading day.
The brief, and what I made of it
Review. Reflect. Restart.
Markets can be overwhelming, and impulsive decisions can cost you. A short break could help, step back, reassess, and return with a smarter strategy.

The idea
Nobody reaches for this button on a good day. A trader taking a break is tired, or has just lost money, and stepping away comes with a quiet worry: is everything I have still safe while I'm gone? So the animation answers that before any text does. Candlesticks, the noise of the market, surround a rupee coin, and two hands close over the coin to protect it. The message is simple: be at peace, your money and investments are safe with us.
I made both pieces myself: the illustration and the interaction animation. Each was drawn and animated within FYERS's brand guidelines and illustration style, so the card feels native to the product rather than bolted on.
Why it works
01
Two hands guarding the coin say "your money is safe with us" without a single line of copy.
02
Soft mint and cream instead of alarm red, so pausing feels like care rather than a restriction.
03
"Review. Reflect. Restart." sets the tone, then a single Take a break button makes the choice easy.
The brief asked for a redesign. The moment needed reassurance.
Reading who reaches for a feature, and how they feel when they do, is how a one-line brief becomes a bigger, better experience.
