Design System
A design system is a set of standards for design and code along with components that unify both practices. Think of it as the same instructions and Lego kit for everyone.
So a Design System is not a deliverable, but a set of deliverables. It will evolve constantly with the product, the tools and the new technologies.
the System is composed of tangibles and non-tangibles elements :
- Tools for designers & developers, patterns, components, fonts , colours , guidelines…
- But also -and it’s often the most difficult thing to achieve- some abstract elements such as brand values, shared ways of working, mindset, shared beliefs…
