Description

In our next sprint starting 9/29, we want to explore some visual language for our recommendations report. This could include:

  • Fonts and visual hierarchy
  • Icons from CA's icon library
  • Offset styles like bold color blocks for sidebars or images to highlight our archetypes

Acceptance Criteria

  • Looking at our inspo and report goals, explore some simple styles we can include in our final report to help structure the draft

@nicoleslaw I see the Icon Font Library here, https://template.webstandards.ca.gov/sample/icon-fonts.html, but how do I access the actual icons? Do we need to request them?

commented

@nikkibrand I think they're part of the template package under the CaGov.woff file.

You can download the entire template here if needed: https://github.com/Office-of-Digital-Innovation/California-State-Template

That said, since their icon set is an actual font, we might want to use a simpler solution like making PNGs from these in Figma or using https://thenounproject.com/ if the font won't render easily in Gdocs/slides/etc.

Thanks! I'll take a look. I'm pretty used to using noun project which I think could be a great option. I wasn't sure if we were required to use CA's icons only.
