Overview_

Player One is the Steam Design System Redesign project that aims to overhaul and modernize the existing website of the Steam gaming platform. With the current system lacking coherence and appearing outdated, this initiative seeks to enhance the overall user experience, improve visual consistency, and align the design language with contemporary standards. By undertaking this project, we intend to create a design system that not only reflects the cutting-edge nature of the gaming industry but also provides users with an intuitive and visually appealing interface.

Objectives_

Visual Consistency:

• Establish a cohesive and unified visual language throughout the Steam platform.

• Create a set of standardized UI elements, including buttons, forms, and navigation components, to ensure a consistent look and feel across different sections of the platform.

Modernization:

• Update the overall aesthetic of the design system to reflect current design trends and industry standards.

• Incorporate responsive design principles to ensure a seamless user experience across various devices and screen sizes.

User-Centric Design:

• Conduct user research to identify pain points and gather insights into user preferences.

• Implement user feedback to enhance usability, accessibility, and overall satisfaction with the Steam platform.

Accessibility:
