Atomic Design 101: Creating Structured Design Systems
Atomic Design is a design system created by Brad Frost and inspired by chemistry. It is a modular system founded on the principle that a whole system can be subdivided into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created, replaced, modified, or exchanged with other smaller parts or across different systems. It is a methodology that has helped develop modern, structured design systems capable of evolving and incorporating the input of various designers. Atomic Design is an interesting topic if you are looking to improve the way you design, which is why we’ve created this brief overview to help you understand how it all works.
Understanding Data Visualization From A UX Designer’s Perspective
In today’s digital world, the number of connected devices that generate data has increased exponentially. Recent research by IDC revealed that the global data volume would reach 163 trillion gigabytes by 2025. With more businesses relying on this data for decision-making, the design of business dashboards has gained prominence in the past decade. UX designers often need to coherently and visually communicate quantitative data to their teams and users. Thus, it’s paramount for them to follow the best practices in making data representations engaging. With the power of data visualization, UX designers can create effective analogies that can simplify complex datasets for human minds.
Gestalt Psychology – Inspiring Exceptional UX Design With The Power Of Perception
White space, grids, information architecture, principles, and purpose are all good UX design staples. An often-overlooked tool of UX design, however, is that of the subconscious. The human brain has a fascinating ability to observe an image and create a ‘whole’ more significant than the sum of its parts. It is wired to see structure, logic, and patterns that don’t exist but are perceived by the onlooker. That’s why we see children (and adults) often finding patterns and entities in things like abstract designs, trees, nature, etc.
