Apple iOS Human Interface Guidelines

Project

Designed in the Developer Publications group at Apple. With a small team, I worked on new UI/UX design for the Developer library publications. New design was launched during WWDC 2013 with the iOS 7 Human Interface Guidelines.

The iOS Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) is viewed by every registered iOS developer during their app development. By 2014 WWDC, there were roughly 9 million registered developers, with 1.2 million apps on iOS7.

Original version

In 2013, there were over 1600 developer docs, all sharing the same outdated looking framework.

New version

New documentation framework was first implemented for main iOS developer docs: iOS Transition Guide, iOS Human Interface Guidelines, and UIKit User Interface Catalog. Following Apple's existing brand guidelines, I flattened the framework's visual effects and put more focus on the content.
