Design Systems: How to Craft Successful Components
Design Systems revolve around the core concept of components—the fundamental, reusable building blocks such as buttons, cards, date pickers, and tables. These components are pivotal in design and code implementation and must be meticulously documented for repeated use.
As designers, we need to ask these important questions: What defines a 'good' component? How do we collaborate with developers to craft and document these components? Working on components transcends traditional UX design and demands cohesiveness, not only for seamless user experiences but also for the usability of designers and developers alike.
In this Master Class webinar, Henry Daggett, Design System Lead at Societe Generale, will share practical insights on how to work successfully with components, from how to choose which components to build to how to document them (with a bit of ChatGPT help) and hand them over to developers.
You’ll learn:
- Which components to build.
- How to gather and organize features into options, states and edge cases.
- How to design excellent, easy-to-reuse components in Figma.
- How to work with developers to build your designs.
- How to write clear documentation, assisted by ChatGPT.
Join this webinar to learn how to work with design components, from selection and Figma design to documentation and developer handoff. Ensure your designs enhance user experiences and streamline collaboration between designers and developers.
