Weekly recap #15
Design and frontend links this week.
Highlights of the week ↘
The age of the app is over - We think in projects, goals, and people. So why are our smartphones built around apps? -
How to improve your visual design - Visual design has lots of tacit knowledge. It’s not simple or easy to get better. I hope this book makes it simpler and easier. -
Product design ↘
Designing a single grid system for all Wikimedia projects - Without a grid system, making decisions about where items should sit on the page, and maintaining visual consistency across multiple projects would be more challenging. -
A comprehensive guide on creating UI designs for iOS apps - This guide covers essential topics that we need to know to make high-quality designs that are consistent with Apple's guidelines. -
Design engineering ↘
The world’s most satisfying toggle - I love seeing little bits of playful interactivity on the web. Components that may serve a functional purpose, but also double as toys, things to be interacted with for the sheer joy of it. -
Choosing a name for your design system - We can talk about many many many different aspects of naming across the design system universe, but for now let’s stick with the formal name of a design system, such as Material Design, Lightning Design System, Carbon Design System, or everyone’s favorite Polaris. -
Sticky page header shadow on scroll - What if we desired something a little bit extra, like applying a box-shadow to the sticky header as soon as the page is scrolled? -
Tools and resources ↘
Accessibility for designer: where do I start? - Articles, resources, checklists, tools, plugins and books to design accessible products. -
Lean UX and Agile glossary - Unsure of what a word means and how it applies to UX in-practice? Use this glossary to quickly clarify key terms and Agile concepts. -
Inspiration and creativity ↘
The art of making more: When quantity beats quality - In the pursuit of creating something great, we often find ourselves torn between the ideals of quality and quantity. -
Last but not least ↘
Five levels of delegation - This one is not from me, but I found that this list is so well put together that I wanted to share. All credit goes to professor Jeffrey Pfeffer of Stanford Business school. -
