Today, we'll take a deep dive into the world of design systems and figure out exactly what they are. We'll take a look at a few definitions and several examples of actual design systems in the real world. By the end, you should have a solid understanding of what a design system actually is, and then (shortly) I will show you how to create one.

Awesome job Gary explaining design systems. It was clear and concise, it helped that you provided examples of different kinds. What I got most out of it is that not all design systems are created equal. It varies depending on the needs of the company.

Hey Gary, very good approach for explaining what is a design system, thank you. A believe that the most interesting for me will be to see the steps and the logic to create a design system, basically even if I know that the best start for a new application is to follow the 3 steps: 1) design system; 2) app design; 3) app development, I am loosing a lot of time with the design system, because I have no clue what is a 'must' and what is 'wish to have', what must be the link between design system features from a professional perspective. I'm a non-professional developer with a supreme goal of developing a professional business application so I need to understand what a professional designer/developer do/think!

@daleschnieders9751 5 жыл бұрын

What maybe is a good thing to say is that design systems often have a component library and a UI kit. A UI kit where the designers make / update the components, and in the component library the components are coded and shown visually. Often you can see the design and the code next to each other. But the UI kit is also necessary for the designers to be able to use the system as well and design more consistent

Thanks Gary! Starting to grasp this. Can you make a video comparing Design Systems vs. Brand Guidelines vs. Pattern Library vs. Style Guide?

@CristianSerran0 4 жыл бұрын

Brand Guidelines: It's high level documentation about the brand itself. Here you can find stuff like voice and tone, mission statements, audience, logos, brand principles (very important), etc. Style Guides: it's a document about styles and its usage, styles are the foundational design decisions that responds to the brand principles and objectives. Here you can find stuff like color, typography, iconography, imagery. It's only about styles (as it's name indicates) so expect only abstract elements. These elements work together to form components. Component Libraries: Components are the minimal reusable UI elements with identity themselves, they have a specific function and are built with style guide elements. Things like Buttons, links, modals, cards, navbars, etc. These component libraries can be either Design libraries (for specific design software) or Dev Libraries (the actual code). Pattern Libraries: Its documentation regarding a product's flows and common patterns of use, you can think about this as how different components work together so the user can do specific stuff. Common patterns are how users (and designers) go about authentication processes, wizards, forms. It's more on the UX side of things. Design System: All of the above, ideally. I would dare to say: "It's the collection of all these documents that help build more consistent digital products and experiences faster." (yeah, design systems are related almost exclusively to digital products, since components and pattern libraries are a core part of it)

@preetililaram7858 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I would say you explained design systems well but I don't have any other information to compare your video to. Although I can somewhat say I know what a design system is, I'm not really sure 'who' it's for. Throughout the entire video, I kept thinking that if companies go through so much effort to create comprehensive guides about their brands, what is the need for that? what does the rest of the world take away from their documentation? I think I have these questions because I'm new to design systems, if you have any help/ good resources, please let me know! Thanks!
