Lightning Design System: Design Tokens

#DesignSystems #Components #DesignTokens

Design tokens are the visual design atoms of the design system — specifically, they are named entities that store visual design attributes. We use them in place of hard-coded values (such as hex values for color or pixel values for spacing) in order to maintain a scalable and consistent visual system for UI development.

Design Systems vs. Pattern Libraries vs. Style Guides - What's the Difference?

#DesignSystems #PatternLibraries #StyleGuide

Design System – the complete set of design standards, documentation, and principles along with the toolkit (UI patterns and code components) to achieve those standards.
Pattern Library – A subclass in the design system, this is the set of design patterns for use across a company.
Style guide – Another subclass in the design system, this static documentation describes the design system itself: how products should look and feel, use cases for UI patterns, correct typographic scales, etc.

MailChimp: UX Patterns

#DesignSystems #Productivity #patterns #UX

The MailChimp Pattern Library is a byproduct of our move to a more responsive, nimble, & intuitive app.

Over the course of two full redesigns and our recent navigation refresh, we've worked to distill most of the MailChimp interface into a set of atomic pieces, forming the pattern library you see here. By documenting and assembling a reference site of our patterns, we were able to speed up our process and solve some internal communication problems. A common lexicon of code and UI elements benefits us in a few ways:

  • We can build consistently, focusing our energy on workflows and logic, not web forms and list items.
  • We can reuse code instead of reinventing the wheel or roping in an engineer.
  • We can see all of our patterns in one place, quickly revealing maintenance issues.

Interplay: Digital Product Design using real (coded) components!

#DesignSystems #Components

Components in Design Systems and pattern libraries are helping Design scale consistently across organisations.

Frontend frameworks such as React, Angular and Vue make writing component code a breeze.

Yet it feels like our existing prototyping tools haven’t kept up - linking static images together can never describe the rich user experiences available in code.

What if we could design and prototype directly with our code components?
