Raven Design System
RDS, Carleton University’s design system, is a living digital organism uniting campus wide teams around a common visual language.
RDS plays an important part in the university’s web brand guideline and is available to use by any member of the Carleton developer community. This initiative is fully supported by ITS and Web Services in collaboration with the Department of University Communications.
RDS is currently in active development and has yet to reach it’s first full version release. More information about how the Carleton dev community can leverage it in their own work, or contribute to fixing bugs or adding functionality will be coming soon.
