CONTENT DESIGN . RESEARCH . DESIGN DOCUMENTATION
OVERVIEW
Early in 2022, I was tasked with coming up a color design documentation plan for Ascensus. We worked with 21 states across the U.S and each state had one primary color that was going to be used in our User Interface at a given time. The goal was to group colors based on the roles they play on the interface.
