Aurora design system is a central design guide developed in 2018 by the Digital Collaboration Division within the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat of the Government of Canada. It was built through a collaborative effort between various designers, developers and writers across the Government of Canada.
Lead by the Digital Collaboration Division at the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Aurora design system was created in collaboration with the Canadian Digital Service: Talent Cloud, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, and other individuals within Government of Canada. Aurora design system was created to standardize the visual language and user experience of the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's online applications and tools.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Aurora design system is a catalogue of user interface elements, writing style, guiding principles, coding standards, visual design, etc. for use in the Open Accessible Digital Workplace's applications. It was built in the open with contributions from developers, designers, writers and data scientists. Aurora design system is an ongoing project. Future iterations will be made to increase the number of components available, expand its code and documentation, and improve its user experience attributes.
Mission Statement[edit | edit source]
Make a design system for the Government of Canada’s digital collaboration tools that can also be reused and applied to other public or internal digital services and products. This system will help to ensure a seamless experience for users across platforms, will be easy to use, and quick for developers and designers to implement. The design system will provide a basic framework with guiding principles and components, with the ability to be adapted to other brands and needs.
Principles[edit | edit source]
Aurora design system adheres to the following principles:
- Simple and flexible: Provides all necessary elements without being restrictive. Aurora Design System is a lightweight system that can be adapted to suit a specific product.
- Fun to use: Makes the job of developers and designers easier rather than add extra burdens or obligations to follow. Aurora Design System has an aesthetically pleasing design that is easy to navigate and adapt.
- Re-usable: Suits a variety of needs. All components and principles are generic enough to be applied to a wide range of digital products. Code and design elements can easily be extracted to create new products, and communications guidelines are easy to understand and follow.
- Diverse: Covers a variety of needs and types of products. Aurora Design System follows necessary Government of Canada obligations such as official languages and accessibility
- Technology agnostic: Applicable to any technologic framework that a team decides to use for their project.
- Open: To anyone who wishes to use it. All of Aurora Design System’s code is open source, and all other guidelines and elements are free to copy.
