It's hard to express how incredibly grateful I am for the existence of the Readability Guidelines which I refer to on pretty much a daily basis.

Evidence based, clear, beautiful.

@cjforms @adambsilver @gerireid The same flow with and without

[Alla Kholmatova @craftui]

@cjforms @adambsilver @gerireid I would say it very much depends on the context! We tested progress indicators with very similar designs at three different companies I worked and all three performed differently in A/B and usability tests.

@asinnema Is today the left one?

@harrybr My preferred approach is to offer candidates a full day paid design task based on a well scoped but real problem in the business domain. Effectively hiring them on freelance basis for a day.

@maartencorpel @rsms @figmadesign Looks like @vajdagabor’s colour tool!https://t.co/MEa30Rsc5d

@julesforrest @EleanorRudge Sometimes it makes sense to continue a line of names that already exists in the org. For example, the company I’m working with now has internal products named after plants. We named design system after an ancient forest to continue the theme.

@julesforrest Bulb is a green energy company. Solar links both to the green theme and also system theme. We brainstormed a lot of names, shout out to @EleanorRudge for coming up with Solar :)

One of the sections for my upcoming book is going to be on the future of design systems. I'd love to crowd-source some other opinions besides mine on that topic. If you're cool with potentially being quoted, share here. Might be interesting to just to read the comments, too. 📓👩🏻‍🏫

@imaginecurve hi, how do I delete my account? There’s no option in the app.

I love how giffgaff's design system documentation shows the signature brand elements together.

From shapes and textures to borders and illustrations – it's great to see, at a glance, the ways to make something seem "giffgaffy".
