Create branded templates for user research reports
Nah writes [lots of fantastic user research reports](https://community.torproject.org/user-research/reports/), however we struggle to get both the internal and the wider UX Community engaged in the plain text format. Instead, we experimented with slightly more high-fidelity reports for both the [Snowflake](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/research/-/blob/master/reports/2021/public-snowflake-survey-report.pdf) and [Tor Browser user surveys](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/research/-/blob/master/reports/2021/tor-browser-user-survey-public.pdf) – however these were laborious to produce in Figma, introduced me as a bottleneck, needed converted into presentations anyway and most people just looked at the charts.
So, our proposed solution to this problem is to produce a more visual template for user research reports. The new template should:
- Be built on an easy to edit wysiwyg presentation platform (e.g. Google slides) so anyone can edit/duplicate without needing to be a designer.
- Be of a moderate information density to serve crosspurposes, i.e. plenty information to satisfy readers, while being light enough that they're also suitable for presentations without further editing.
- Include sufficient templates to cover our content needs (e.g. various forms of charts, tables, quotes, text slides, maps etc.).
- Roughly align with our evolving brand look and feel.
The first thing I'd like to use the new template for is the VPN survey report, which you could treat as a starting point (i.e. begin designing around the VPN survey content, and then expand to include other content types later): https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/research/-/issues/50
Anything else you'd like to add to this list @nah?
