Proposta de modelo atualizado e simplificado do Manual de Identidade Visual da UFRN

Abstract

This study reflects on the Visual Identity Manual (VIM) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) with the aim of creating a more objective, up-to-date and simplified alternative to this manual. UX principles were used to make the manual more intuitive, accessible and practical, promoting the efficient use of the institution's visual guidelines. The qualitative methodology, which includes a focus group with experts in Design and Communication and former students of the university, seeks to explore how UFRN's visual communication can be improved for a cohesive application in line with the university's values and social role. The study resulted in the development of a new suggested brand manual and ideas for improving the higher education institution's communication with its stakeholders.
