Plasma/Mobile/DesignWorkflow
Plasma Mobile is developed in a design-driven workflow. We design features and applications with Plasma Mobiles core concerns of functionality and privacy and design the apps fitting to different form factors. Apps or system components can be specific for a device such as a smartphone, but may also be applicable and useful on other types of devices, such as laptops.
The following tools help you to design a well-integrated, good looking and functional appliation or feature.
Vision Statement
TODO, pending finalization of discussion on mailing list
Personas
Based on the vision statement, applications should be designed for the following personas:
- "'Berna (office worker), says "I want to feel safe"
- "Susan" (recreational user), says "I want to be creative and flexible"
More details about these personas
Coordination of design related topics is done in the Plasma Mobile and Visual Design Group sections of the KDE forums.
Design assets, such as mockups are shared via share.kde.org, KDE's owncloud instance. TODO: this stuff should be made available without needing an account
