Mobile Handbook
Ex-Out mobile app is a digital creativity handbook that helps those looking who want to make change. It helps create and share art and design against the spread of hate and violence online. My role was to search for materials for the creative content guides, organize them into documents, and check that the links were contained correctly.
Website
Ex-Out website provides more information about the project including a resource kit, brand guide and reference. In the web design process, I updated texts and link on the reference page using Github & Atom.
Resource Kit
Resource Kit is pre-made designs that anyone can use based on Figma. Not everyone is a designer, social media expert, or confident in their ability to tell a story. Ex-Out resource kit assists in these aspects for those wanting to share their message to spread positivity, promote inclusion, share stories, and prevent acts of violence.
Design System
Our design system is based on Ex-Out heart grid. At its core, it’s a simple heart shape. But when combined and repeated, it turns into a complex grid suited for illustrations. Every illustration for the Ex-Out brand has been designed on this grid.
Tools
We were able to quickly design and prototype how the app would behave using Figma. It also walled us to real-time collaboration with other remote team members on all visual content.
Our Team
Ex-Out team is a small group of creators at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with support from the RIT Center for Media, Arts, Games, Interaction, and Creativity (MAGIC) in Rochester, NY.
