The Design Elements
By design, we mean all things concerning the user experience; the aesthetics and interface of DIYbiosphere.
Branding of the project
Name
The name for the project: ‘DIYbiosphere’, is inspired as an analogy to that of a ‘biosphere’. A biosphere is a global ecological system that integrates all living beings and their relationships. In this sense, the DIYbiosphere is supposed to reflect the social and technological systems of DIYbio – its people and artifacts – as well as their relationships.
Logo

User interface
Color scheme
The colors scheme is kept at a minimal, using mainly white, grey, black and blue.
