A new UI Design Direction for Breast Cancer Now

Evolving brand for digital | Visual identity | Website UI/UX design

The brief

To establish a digital first creative direction for Breast Cancer Now’s newly established brand.

Immersion and ideation

Taking the stock of the work that had been done so far and beginning to explore how that might play out digitally.

Activities:

  • A brand audit to identify gaps and accessibility issues
  • Reviewing stakeholder and audience interviews from the discovery phase to gain insight into the brand, both as is and any aspirations
  • Developing some ‘how might we…?’ statements to guide exploration into the development of the brand for digital
  • Visualising some ideas about how we might explore developing the brand for digital applications

Creative Direction workshop

Facilitating a workshop with key stakeholders to gain insight into the digital application and ambition of Breast Cancer Now’s brand.

Activities:

  • Examining the brand as it appeared in the existing digital estate, what was working, what was not
  • Presenting the ‘how might we…?’ statements and pre-prepared explorations from the previous phase of work
  • Inviting key stakeholders to share examples of digital experiences that inspired them
  • Exploring the brands positioning in relation to those examples and the sector as a whole

Design direction

Using the learnings from the Creative direction workshop to outline some core principles to work from that would inform a design system. Exploring rules around use of colour and typography and designing some key UI elements.

Website UI design system and pattern library

Turning the design direction into a fully formed design system and working with developers to turn it into a live pattern library in Storybook.
