Motorola Carrier Design Kit

Android media guidelines for global carriers such as Orange, Vodafone, Movistar, AT&T, and Verizon.

Overview

Produce Android carrier customization media elements (ringtone, powerup animation, out-of-box configuration, iconography, and custom apps). Assess carrier customization needs across major carriers and establish standards for baseline deliverables. Support and design sales team pitches that align product features and experiences to customer target personas.

Work with individual carriers to provide visibility and solutions for media customization requests. Collaborate with carriers to achieve a holistic product experience offering Motorola design language use and application. Guide creative critiques assessing UX patterns, best practices and iconography. Lead presentations that satisfy carrier needs while keeping Motorola design language consistencies.

Problem

With Android as the flagship development platform many customization options are technically possible. Carriers would work with Motorola to customize devices and the ability to support those requests was not consistent. Motorola needed to define a baseline set of product requirements that our media team could support on a global scale.
