Inspiration!
Google introduces hundreds of updates, features, and announcements every year across products such as Gemini, Android, Workspace, Chrome, and Cloud. However, most users only discover a small fraction of them. Important updates are often scattered across blogs, keynote presentations, social media posts, and technical documentation. We wanted to create a platform that makes staying updated simple, accessible, and engaging for everyone.
What it does?
Glimpse is a concept platform that helps users discover and understand Google updates through concise summaries and intuitive design. Instead of requiring users to read lengthy technical articles or watch hours of keynote presentations, Glimpse presents important information in a simplified and easy-to-consume format. Users can browse updates by category, understand what changed, learn why it matters, and stay informed without information overload.
How we built it?
We approached Glimpse as a complete product experience rather than just an interface. The project involved developing a visual identity, designing a custom logo, creating a mobile-first UI, planning content structures, and producing marketing assets. We designed update cards, category systems, onboarding flows, promotional carousels and motion graphics to create a cohesive and engaging user experience.
Challenges we ran into!
One of the biggest challenges was the implementation of ideas at some extents due to skill gap or knowledge gap ; though this project helped the entire team sail forward by learning and implementing. Other than that, many Google announcements are targeted toward developers or advanced users, making them difficult for general audiences to understand quickly. And lastly, creating a visual identity that felt familiar to Google's ecosystem while still establishing Glimpse as its own distinct product.
Accomplishments that we're proud of :
- Creating a complete product identity from scratch.
- Designing a custom logo and branding system.
- Building a polished mobile UI concept.
- Producing marketing campaigns, carousels, and motion graphics.
- Creating a solution that addresses a real information accessibility problem.
- Successfully presenting a unified product experience across branding, UI/UX, and marketing.
What we learned?
Through this project, we gained valuable experience in product design, branding, visual storytelling, content simplification, and user-centered design. We learned how important information hierarchy and accessibility are when communicating complex topics. We also gained insight into how branding, UI/UX, and marketing work together to shape a product experience.
What's next for Glimpse?
Future versions of Glimpse could include AI-generated summaries, personalized recommendations, bookmarking features, push notifications for major announcements, and integration with official Google sources for real-time updates. We envision Glimpse evolving into a platform that helps users effortlessly stay informed about everything happening across Google's ecosystem.
