Graphic Implementation Guidelines

Brawling with engeneering areas over designs delivered is always exhausting and a mind blowing experience.

In order to control the development deliveries and the client expectations I have created a document that I have called GIG — Graphic Implementation Guidelines. It guides and controls the output of the engeneering/development team.

These documents tell a brief story on the concept and expected behavior of the app/website and engage developers to deliver as designed.

These graphic specs are delivered alongside with GIS — Graphical Interaction Specifications — that controls the unique actions possible in a determined screen.

I’ve worked with developers around the world, from India to the US, and I’ve managed to settle some disputes because of these kind of documents.

Bellow I list some examples of pages of GIGs.
