ANALYSIS
Producing scalable and portable assets was a primary take away in development. Understanding that growth was inevitable, build collateral that could be leveraged cross functionally in multiple programs to enable diverse users to act as creators and facilitate their own authorship
DESIGN
Google's Brand Standards have many different interpretations. Modern, minimal, flat, orthographic, or isometric. Settling on orthographic (flat to the screen) design simplified the creative process and allowed less experienced creators to contribute without the technical requirements that more challenging visual languages could introduce
VALIDATION
Characters could interact with objects and environments with minimal development or redesign
INSIGHTS
No system can function effectively without documentation. Creating paths for new users to acquire knowledge and agency is essential for successful adoption
A PATH FORWARD
Standardizing assets so programs can grow thematically
