An in-depth-deep-dive analysis of some design systems.
SALESFORCE LIGHTING DESIGN SYSTEM
Salesforce Lighting Design System is pretty clear, its Flexible, Scalable, Efficient, Accessible, Living, and Platform agnostic.
Principally, they’re very : Clarity, Efficiency, Consistency, Beauty.
Color-Wise, they’re very : Intentionality, hierarchy, branding, and accessibility.
In terms of icons, they blend professional and playful. they’re also; simple, approachable, and legible, distinguished by negative space and large rounded corners. Also recognizable and easy to remember.
And that pretty much covers the entire design system.
ATLASSIAN
Atlassian doesn’t have a design system. They have an “End-to-End Design Language”. It looks eerily like a design system.
Their goal is: “to create simple, intuitive, and beautiful experiences”
Their mission is: “to unleash the potential in every team”
Their promise is: “that our tools and practices will help teams work better together in agile, open, and scalable way”
Their values are: “Open company, no bullshit” , “Build with heart and balance” , “Don’t #@!% [fuck] the customer” , “Play, as a team” , and “Be the change you seek”.
I think that gives you the full picture, lets move on.
ADOBE SPECTRUM
Adobe Spectrum provides components and tools to help product teams work more efficiently, and to make Adobe’s applications more cohesive.
Principally they are: Human, Focused, & Rational
Their iconography is: Clear, Minimal, and Consistent.
Yay we did it! good Job everybody!
