Draftkings' new design system is a fresh, elevated version of the popular platform. The system goes hand in hand with the product and brand aesthetic and character, providing flexible structure that is clean, communicative, holistic and scalable - yet still bold and energetic.
8-72 Grid & Spacing System
The new grid and spacing system provided clear design rules, which acted as the foundation for the new design. Following this system allowed Draftkings to:
1. Improve information architecture
2. Keep the content organized
3. Enhance visual hierarchy & scanability
4. Better support cross platforms.
Color Palette
Communicative | Playful | Sporty

Using new branded illustrations and motion design provided a more playful and powerful way to communicate, draw attention and increase engagement.
