Enterprise principles that guide the

robosoft technologies

design

Platform architecture

D+ is designed, keeping in mind a dynamic architecture that is not monolithic, but modular in nature

Video viewing

Harnessing the power of new-age technologies, content rendering and video playback is almost real-time

Content management

PBCs are leveraged heavily, to give businesses the flexibility to configure the content and create UX on the fly. E.g. Adding new content rails take around 2 clicks and less than 5 minutes

Operations & methodologies

To achieve the right experience, D+ is designed and delivered through DesignOps (multiple Design Sprints) + DevOps (multiple Agile Sprints) principles

Creating a design system for robosoft technologies that is consistent, adaptive and scalable

A design system is a set of reusable components and guidelines that helps teams unite around a common language during product creation

Atomic Design: building design systems

Here is a quick overview of the components of Atomic Design
robosoft technologies
  • robosoft technologies
    Atoms

    Represent the basic building blocks of a design system. An example of this is a button or a text style

  • robosoft technologies
    Molecules

    A group of atoms work together as a unit. Molecules are tangible UI elements

  • robosoft technologies
    Organisms

    Atoms and molecules work together to form a component

  • robosoft technologies
    Templates

    Placing components into a layout lead to a content structure

  • robosoft technologies
    Pages

    Pages are the highest level of fidelity

A structured design system brings longevity

The system goes beyond designing buttons and pages. It can be used during a complete product lifecycle

Following platform-specific guidelines

We have followed Android & iOS guidelines to maintain consistency of design elements and interactions across device interfaces

For example - The back button on Android helps the user move forward/backward between screens. The absence of the same in iOS, marginally alters the design treatment

Subtle design adaptations are necessary to maintain a balance between platform guidelines and the created design system

Image aspect ratio

Using a consistent aspect ratio for all the images of a particular section, make the visual display richer

Once the aspect ratio is determined, (multiple ratios are chosen for different sections) the image sizing is done. Smaller images are faster to download, but larger images bring the ‘wow’ factor to a big screen. The trick is in finding the right balance

Client testimonial

robosoft technologies

Discovery+ earlier this year, had a breakthrough launch in a cluttered OTT market like India with a differentiated product targeted at lifelong learners and passionate communities. The team at Robosoft played a significant role in building this multi-platform experience spanning iOS, Android, Web and Fire TVs. Their team comprises an extremely dedicated bunch of folks with a keen problem solving approach and under the stellar leadership of Ravi Teja, Jay Shah, Srinidhi Rao and Pooja Bal, they have been the kind of dependable partners that a lot of brands would be fortunate to have. I wish them and their team the best for their future.
