I recreated the static designs in native Docs editor to test their feasibility and responsiveness. Suggestions: How can themes inspire paraphernalia? How does the system suggest grids or font pairings?Īfter the sprint, I had to scale down the designs to see how they fit in the current apps.Preview: What’s the best way to see a bird’s eye view of your template?.Customization: How do users save a scheme that they created? How do they stylize all images in a theme?.By the end of the sprint, we had come up with 10 ‘beautiful-by-default’ sets of templates and created guidelines to make document creation smarter along the following lines: I joined 3 other visual designers in a week long visual design sprint to design an ideal creation experience for Docs, Sheets & Slides. Later on, I led the effort to implement designs with in Google Docs, Sheets & Slides. In the initial stages, I worked with 3 visual designers to come up with design guidelines. I joined this project in it’s early stages to co-direct the visual design and create an array of fresh responsive templates for the editors. All information in this case study is my own and does not necessarily reflect the views of Google. To comply with my non-disclosure agreement, I have omitted and obfuscated confidential information in this case study. I was asked to simplify and beautify the experience by allowing users to choose from a brand new set of pre-designed templates & themes right from the Docs homescreens. Last updated in 2012, they lacked new docs features such as custom colors or web-fonts, used tables for formatting, weren’t mobile friendly, and could only be accessed from a separate gallery location. Google Docs, Slides & Sheets templates were rudimentary, outdated and hard-to-find. Providing better defaults for starting a new file.
