Status Design
This is the repo where we co-ordinate design bounties and submissions for the Status ecosystem.
Design projects
Every project is different, the table below shows a rough distinction between project types, their related effort and process.
| Type | Size | Example | Tech review | Design review | Design > Dev | Dev > Design |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New feature | XL | Teller Network / TTT / Stickermarket / DApp store | x | x | x | x |
| Improvement isolated UI component | S | Additional message status | x | x | ||
| Improvement contextual UI component | M | Snackbar | x | x | x | x |
| Improvement isolated flow | L | Onboarding | x | x | x | x |
| Improvement across touchpoints | XL | Profile settings / Navigation | x | x | x | x |
Ball park legend: S - hours, M - day, L - few days, XL - weeks
Note
* Design is never done.
* A design project follows the same tradeoff as any other. There is no magic. https://fastgood.cheap/
Design process
Design process is iterative and differs depending on the design ask. The process outlined below describes the most common process within Status.
- Janitor creates a design epic and story(-ies) in pivotal; including order of use cases to be covered.
- Designer works on concept designs in Figma.
- Designer collects feedback from design team, and others when relevant, on concepts. Either 1:1, in a call or by tagging in Figma.
- Janitor updates design story to use cases covered by the design
Tech Review
- Janitor organizes a review with the relevant technical team lead, and others if necessary. Tech reviews are needed for new features, and any M-XL sized features.
- Designer updates design if needed.
Design Review
- Janitor organizes Design Review. Objective depends on state and complexity of design; Can be OK for handoff or collecting feedback in Research phase. Attendees: Designer, Developer, Nabil, Rachel, Hester.
- Designer updates design if needed (includes coordination of final copy).
- Janitor organizes a Design > Dev handoff call if needed.
- Designer adds himself to relevant GitHub issue and shares the design files
- Designer continues to monitor implementation activities
- Designer follows up to troubleshoot any questions during development and provide any additional specifications, components, screens if needed.
- Designer reviews implementation; Dev > Design
- Design story is closed in pivotal after PR is merged or further UI changes are highly unlikely.
Brand/Marketing design
Needs and responsibilities
Marketing team's design needs include items below, with responsible designer (Marketing or Product) added to each.
- Product landing page > Product designer
- Brandbook guided by product > Product designer
- Dedicated audience or campaign landing page > Marketing designer
- Social media assets > Marketing designer
- Post/blog headers > Marketing designer
- Occasional collatoral > Marketing designer
Assumption is that product designers only work Product landing page and brandbook. Occassionally help is needed to produce other assets. Occassionally product designers enjoy providing other assets as a welcome distraction:) (e.g. t-shirt designs).
Way of working
To ensure consistency between product and assets we discussed the following WOW:
- Marketing team can always ask for assets, product designers can always say 'no'.
- Production files (Figma) are shared so marketing and product design can get a feeling for eachother's style.
- In case product designers are needed to provide assets (e.g. unavailability of marketing designer) marketing team provides the following requirements:
- What is the purpose of the asset?
- Where will it be used?
- What are required dimensions?
- What is the deadline?
- Product design provides a basic brandbook for each product to guide style for marketing materials. E.g. Teller brandbook
- Current guidelines for Core need more detail (e.g. when and how wordmark and logo are (not) used and how to display app screens)
- Upcoming marketing campaigns (required assets) are here.
- When a marketing designer starts working on assets they consult brand book, provided by product design and ping in #design.
- Final assets are shared with relevant product designer to check for any updates in the meantime (esp. regarding screens in development). Design review template
