Design Scenario
As a product designer at an educational service, you’re tasked with developing the design principles as the company grows its market presence and brand. These principles will guide decision-making, promote consistency, and reduce unproductive debates. Ensure the design principles are distinct from usability guidelines, heuristics, or visual design principles, although some overlap may exist.
Design Task
Your design task is to complete the following:
- Select an educational platform and the device type for your design.
- Identify the core values of the educational service of your choice.
- Formulate 4-5 user-centered design principles that address common conflicts in your team.
- Include examples of do’s and dont’s.
- Explain how these design principles will serve as a guide for decision-making.
- Bonus points for showing how the principles have been applied in actual design scenarios.🏆
