An acronym for "Digital Grand Unified Design", DGUD is a Design System powering Education First's online identity for its English Live Product offering: Web, Classroom, iPad, iOS Mobile & Android.
The dGUD style guide is meant to help designers build great interfaces reducing the time spent on exploration or conceptualization of a visual identity. While we understand certain areas of the school deserve more prominence and visual/functional identity, we believe it's in good effort to offer other designers across the company a set of assets and components that have been carefully crafted, with rigorous emphasis on simplicity, hierarchy, typography, spacing and color.
To better suit a mobile form factor and the context of our students, our team devised ways to break down existing web content into smaller, bite-sized morcels of learning.
The goal of this project was to leverage the existing English Live platform on desktop Web and rethink the design and interaction patterns of the e-learning templates in a way better suited to mobile platforms.
My involvement was to rethink these interactions and create wireframes and interactive prototypes for more than 10 activity templates. Expanding beyond the original scope of the project, I also designed some activity templates unique to mobile.
