Project Design Documentation – Design Perspectives

Announcements

Let’s take a few minutes to review the team Project Implementation Documentation you developed over last week.

Review your project concept document and create a word map that represents the qualities your project needs to project to be successful
Cycle through each word in your list, executing Google image searches on each word
Select three images that best represent each word
Assemble all your images onto a single Google Document
Do the images collectively represent the mood and spirit of your project?
If yes, use a palette generator like Adobe Color CC to generate a palette that best represents your project visually
What about a font?

Developing a bot, SMS or IVR system? What voice attributes best represent your project? Male or female voice? Younger or older? Fun or serious?

Review the mood board you created in the previous exercise
What voice attributes can you identify to can use in copy for your project (for posters, sms messages, or other text)?
Make a list of these attributes

With your team, review the word list, graphics, fonts and writing voice attributes you identified during the graphics and voice identity exercises you did in class
Repeat any of the steps from either exercise if you’re not completely satisfied with your project’s graphic and voice identity
Create a new Google Drive and write up a Design Document that reflects the identity guidelines you’ve identified
Include sections for mood, palette, type treatment, logo usage, and text voice attributes
Update your team page on the blog and link your new identity guidelines under your “Project Documentation” heading

Individually, create a new slide in your Design Notebooks and title it “Design Guidelines”
Write a brief paragraph summarizing your team’s Design Identity
Be sure to include a link to your team’s Design Guideline Google Document

*Submit the link to your Design Notebook to Canvas before we meet again next week
