The UX & Game Design Department’s design system evokes its dual nature by supporting two use cases. First, we use these components to unify our internal deliverables (wireframes, flow documents, prototypes) to create consistency within the company. Second, for certain projects, these elements are extended for clients, into visual design and motion.   The abbrevbiation for Upsilon Andromedae is υ And (or Upsilon And). We use this nomenclature to extend to our own project names, such as ‘uAnd Synthroid.’ This project is still in the early stages, but is a serious internal initiative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5ad7a451a584c13d3662d6/1516412582945-IC6X9WGXSRTWOC26AXLH/Screen+Shot+2018-01-19+at+8.41.48+PM.png Work - Morpheus, Biblionaut Morpheus, Biblionaut follows an astronaut’s descent into madness as he completes his solo mission to the nearby star system Alpha Centauri, and attempts to create his own reality by reading his entire library https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a5ad7a451a584c13d3662d6/1516073792247-UGTM7QCV17C9BQAII14N/zatsonab5a.jpg Work - Mouse Loader In the heyday of Flash (2000), mouse loaders were popular.
