Platform Designs

In this folder, you will find key information about the Design of the AutSPACEs platform. The platform's code is housed in the companion repository: /AutSPACEs.

Where to start.

This is the Project Management repository for the AutSPACEs project. Part of the AutSPACEs project is the development of the AutSPACEs platform, however good design is not limited to just web applications, which is why this folder sits here.

How to Contribute

• If you are new to design and UX, you can get started by reading the design-introduction.md file which gives an overview of what design is, the design process AutSPACEs uses, and definitions for the design terminology that is used.

• If you are returning or are a designer wanting to get involved, first read our Contributing Guidelines and then familiarize yourself with the resources found in this repository.

⚠️ A quick reminder that if you would like to work on the code or development of the AutSPACEs platform (for example implementing the design system) then the repository you're in right now will contain information on what the design changes are and what the platform will look like, however the code for the platform is in the /AutSPACEs repository.

All contributions are wellcome!
