Summary

The UX Team have been discussing replacing the existing styleguide with a new resource that's wider in scope – e.g. "design.torproject.org". In addition to updating our brand and web guidelines given their evolution over the past few years, we're also considering adding new sections to document our human-centered design principals, user research program, and overall methodology. The revised portal should serve as a central point of reference for external resources too, including for example our Figma libraries for the browser, web and VPN, and any open source design resources we use.

Given the large scope of this project, it's expected that we'll make some progress in planning the structure, content and design of the new portal – however we'll likely need to wait for a second hackweek or future funding opportunity to complete the implementation.

Hackweek goals:

  • Site map
  • Some content planning/development
  • Figma prototype
  • Basic HTML templates (stretch goal)

Requirements

Institutional knowledge:

  • Direct knowledge of the Tor Project's brand, design systems, user experience and/or user research practices.

Technical skills:

  • Graphic and/or web design (required)
  • Front-end development (optional)
