Secret Design Proposal

Hello from Secret Network! We’re looking for artists and designers to be long-term collaborators in our ecosystem. As a first step, the Secret Foundation is helping coordinate a “design challenge” to give artists new opportunities to get involved. All are welcome to submit proposals and earn SCRT by doing creative work. Our main goal is to develop useful resources for educating the general public about programmable privacy and Secret Network. (Reference: https://blog.scrt.network/programmable-privacy) As part of this, we want to provide better visual materials (diagrams, videos, infographics, etc.) that will answer commonly asked questions and explain our technologies and use cases. Read our creative brief here and submit your design proposal below - we are looking forward to potentially working together! CREATIVE BRIEF Introduction: The Secret Network is a permissionless, blockchain-based network that utilizes hardware-based and software-based privacy technologies to enable programmable privacy - arbitrarily complex data privacy controls for applications. On top of this network, developers can build Secret Apps - decentralized applications that can utilize encrypted inputs and outputs without ever exposing the raw data itself, even to the nodes in the network performing computations. Primary Challenges: Secret Network is powerful, but complex. As a result, the network has a relatively steep learning curve that requires understanding technical, economic, and social processes of privacy and the use of encrypted data. It is difficult to explain these critical and nuanced concepts quickly, so it’s important to create powerful visual materials that can drive strong initial interest in these topics and Secret Network. We want to demonstrate for a broad audience how programmable privacy can positively impact every aspect of our lives and society. Objectives: We want to find talented artists and designers who can produce visual materials, videos, design guides, and/or animations for Secret Network. We want to explore the possible visual identities of Secret Network for the primary purpose of creating educational content. Ideally, these community-driven efforts will result in a complete style guide and a reusable universe of basic materials that the community can easily extend. Target Audience: Our three main audience types include privacy enthusiasts, software developers, and potential network participants (including node operators and delegators). One of the main missions of Secret Foundation is global growth and adoption of open-source privacy-centric technologies, which means an emphasis on producing accessible content for the general public.
