Google Visual Assets Guidelines - Part 1 on Behance

Google Visual Assets Guidelines - Part 1 on Behance
Google’s brand is shaped in many ways; one of which is through maintaining the visual coherence of our visual assets. In January 2012, expanding on the new iconography style started by Creative Lab, we began creating this solid, yet flexible, set of guidelines that have been helping Google’s designers and vendors to produce high quality work that helps strengthen Google’s identity. What you see here is a visual summary of the guidelines, divided into two Behance projects: Google design style: Executive Creative Director: Chris Wiggins Graphic Designers: Jesse Kaczmarek, Nicholas Jitkoff, Jonathan Lee, Andy Gugel, Alex Griendling, Christopher Bettig, Jefferson Cheng, Roger Oddone, Yan Yan, Zachary Gibson Guideline design: Art Director / Team Manager: Christopher BettigSenior Graphic Designer / Project lead: Roger OddoneDesigners: Alex Griendling, Christopher Bettig, Jefferson Cheng, Roger Oddone, Yan Yan, Zachary GibsonContributors: Web Studio, Brand Team, Creative Lab

10 Remarkable Website Typography Designs Photo: arnoKath Just a few years ago if you used the font Proxima Nova on your website, other designers would marvel at how awesome your “typography” was.

It can help save you money (on design and development costs), expand initial ideas, build structure and functionality and effectively gather invaluable early feedback. We have gathered 20 of the best tools for wireframing mobile websites and apps, each of which offers a unique set of features. Furthermore, there are plenty of other wireframing and diagramming apps available, which may also be of interest.

Tools for Mobile UX Design: Task Flows By Steven Hoober Published: March 9, 2015 “I create a diagram that describes the entire scope of the system from the point of view of the user—considering all touchpoints, all actors, and all storage and delays.” Recently, a client asked me to do a heuristic evaluation. They had hired another vendor to design an iOS app for one of their divisions, and it was my job to see how well they had done. And I almost failed.

Material Honesty on the Web Material honesty—the idea that a substance should be itself, rather than mimic something else—has guided everyone from Ruskin, an art critic, to Charles and Ray Eames, designers of the iconic plywood chair (LCW). By stripping away any coverings and celebrating both its material and its manufacturing process, the chair lays bare exactly what it is: molded plywood. In so doing, it is modern, functional, and timeless—so timeless, in fact, that it’s been continually produced for eighty years. Today there’s a materials debate between flat and skeuomorphic design. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Technology-enhanced Learning TU Darmstadt 2009-2011 This project pursued the question of how user interfaces are to be designed for learning applications. A generally recognised aim for the design of user interfaces is to make the interaction with the computer system as seamless and as free from disruptions and difficulties as possible. The underlying question is whether this also applies to eLearning, whether or not the learning software should provoke specific ruptures and discontinuities, whether it should be “disturbing” in order to support meaningful learning processes. Can we – and how can we – design and apply helpful, unburdening technology, in a way so that it still remains “visible” and “distinct” and as a result, stimulates important cognitive processes?
