What’s a dashboard, anyways? Designing the official German COVID-19 vaccination dashboard
We all have seen lots of coronavirus dashboards by now, but the German COVID-19 vaccination dashboard stands out: designed mobile first, it features smart integration of text and charts, animations and even achievement badges, inspired from video games. What was the motivation behind this approach, how was it realized, and how has the dashboard evolved over this year? Moritz Stefaner will take us behind the scenes of this project which he conceived, designed and implemented together with Studio NAND and Cosmonauts & Kings.
