Design follows data

Overview


Introduction

Dashboards on UNI platform were envisioned to be a one-stop destination for all statistical information regarding a particular entity. Since UNI has multiple features for varying user groups, one dashboard for all didn’t seem like a workable solution. So the project was to create a dashboard layout along with design guidelines which could be used anywhere by making minor tweaks.

Context


Background

For me, dashboards are one of the most interesting problems of communication design. There is data which needs to be communicated and there’s a user who is interested in the story. The entire game is to find an equilibrium between the capacity and limitations of the user with the information to form a narrative. A dashboard is not limited to colorful charts, bold text and quirky illustrations. It’s a canvas where a story is told.

Task

The task was to create a dashboard for conveying statistical information to the users.

My role

Responsible for the entire design grounds up from ideation to developer handoff.
