The library

My name is Andrea Montella, I am an interaction design student at TUDelft. Currently, I am developing my master thesis project in collaboration with Visual Contracts with the aim of exploring which is the impact of visual contracts and how we could design fairer contracts for the employment context.

As you may have read in the previous post, my graduation project focuses on the exploration of the fairness of visual employment contracts. Right now, I have finalized my research phase and I have developed a visual prototype which I want to evaluate using the form below. However, first I would like to present some of the results of my research which led me to the creation of this prototype and the current test.

30 August 2019. After half a year of hard work, I finally reach the day of graduation. The end of this thesis project culminates the two years journey of my master program at TU Delft.

A small list of learning materials to make the inner legal design thinker in you scream for joy!

Often when we tell about visual contracts the first idea that comes to mind is ‘adding visuals to the legal document’.

In 2016 the University of Amsterdam was looking for a designer to join their team to design the invitation a.o. for their personalized communication research. Their brief was the big challenge of convincing people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds to join their quite privacy invasive research.

Maybe you have heard and read before about Legal Design Thinking. If you already exactly know what it is, how you can use it and what it can do for you(r business), stop reading. But if you’re curious and open-minded to learn more, this post is there for you. We will explain (our vision on) Legal Design Thinking in a clear, visual and easy to understand way.

After observing many lawyers and other people who start working in the Legal Design field, we observed several phases that you go through. We used this learning curve to provide the tools that support you to get through the different phases. From observer until ninja Legal Designer.
