The objective was to create a visually appealing and informative eBook for "Disk storage decoded," focusing on the intricacies of EBS optimization. The design needed to align with the company's branding guidelines while ensuring that the content was accessible and engaging for a professional audience involved in cloud technologies and optimization strategies.
Design Process
Understanding the Brand and Content: The initial step involved a thorough understanding of GlobalDots' brand identity, including color schemes, typography, and overall visual style. Simultaneously, I immersed myself in the content to grasp the complex technical information, ensuring the design would enhance clarity and engagement.
Layout Design: Following the style guidelines, I developed a layout that balanced text and visual elements. The layout was structured to facilitate an easy flow of information, with clear headings, subheadings, and ample white space to prevent visual overload.
Creation of Visual Assets: To complement the textual content and enhance understanding of the technical concepts, I created a series of visual assets. These included infographics, charts, and diagrams that illustrated points like the differences between EBS volume types, pricing models, and optimization strategies. Each visual was crafted to be intuitive and aligned with the branding colors and style.
Typography and Readability: Selecting the right typography was crucial to ensure readability and maintain a professional appearance. I chose fonts that reflected GlobalDots' modern and innovative ethos, with a clear distinction between headings, subheadings, and body text for better hierarchy and readability.
Interactive Elements: To enhance the digital reading experience, interactive elements such as clickable contents and links to further resources were incorporated. These features aimed to make the eBook not just informative but also a practical tool for readers to explore EBS optimization deeply.
Feedback and Iterations: After compiling the initial design, it was reviewed by multiple stakeholders. Feedback was meticulously incorporated to refine the visuals and content alignment, ensuring that the eBook met both aesthetic and informational standards.
