Write draft of BRL-CAD application interface design guidelines

completed by: Marc Tannous

mentors: Popescu Andrei, Sean

This task involves defining a set of application design guidelines similar to this in content:

  • http://visual.ly/ios-android-design-guidelines-cheat-sheet
  • https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/AppleHIGuidelines/Intro/Intro.html
  • http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229042(v=vs.110).aspx

Yours doesn't have to be pretty (there's a separate task for that) or nearly as detailed. Yours can be a simple text list or an annotated set of images. Whatever is best for conveying the design criteria. The emphasis is putting thought into the design criteria.

As our design guidelines are not well-defined, you get to propose a consistent simple set.

Submit your guidelines in an editable format.
