Hybrid Brand Design System

SVP Worldwide, 2024

The Brief/Main responsibilities

Creating a hybrid brand design system with components as well as detailed design specifications and strategy.

Project overview

In this project we created a hybrid brand design system with support for different theming. We also defined strategies for how to maintain and develop the design system over time.​​​​​​

1.

We started off with research on how to create the best hybrid brand design system setup in Figma, really spending time on mastering all the latest Figma quirks. 

2.

Thereafter we started creating local variables to support different brands and theming. This included different colors, corner radiuses etc. This was done through using aliases for the colors such as Background1 and assigning different colors to Background1 depending on brand and theme. See image below,​ due to corporate confidentiality the image below is a much simpler fictive example and not the real work.

3.

Next, we created components such as buttons and menus which were assigned these aliases. Later on we created detailed specifications which described component structures, margins, screen considerations, color guide, font guide, brand guidelines etc which was published internally within the company for use for software developers, marketing and the UX team.

Due to corporate confidentiality the image below is a much simpler fictive example and not the real work.
