Design Principles

Complies with University brand standards

Conveys the generic brand of the University without falsifying ATEC’s unique personality and charisma

Allows visitors to carry the message and convey the brand

Content and message is clear, concise and intentional, moving users upward along a continuum: 
 uninformed > informed > influencer > persuader

Future friendly: Platform and device independent

Embraces device proliferation by putting content first

Never hide content
Modal windows, popovers, drop-down windows and other interactions that cover content should be avoided or designed in such a way that the content of the original text is never hidden.

Demonstrates value

ATEC research and projects are not just experiments, but produce quantifiable returns

Action steps, not dead ends

Content should have a clear path pointing users to the next logical link or page

Compellingly shows and tells

Compelling images invite the visitor to click, discover and learn more

Seductive interactions

Interactions should be seductive, delightful and invite discovery
