“I have chosen three companies based on the items, programs, and interests I use in my daily life. While previously I only thought from the perspective of a user, now that I have learned a lot through graphic design programs, I can focus a bit more on the elements of design.
After briefly examining the design systems of the three companies listed above, here’s what I’ve learned:
First, each company has a systematic grid system. They have grids tailored to different devices, arranging images and headline patterns to fit each screen size.
Second, they have own color palettes according to their themes. Particularly on news websites, I learned that color palettes are an important part of the design system, as inserting thin color borders helps distinguish the issue before even grasping the headline.
Finally, I learned about motion. “The complexity of moving elements, considering their duration, and the timing of setting the scale of motion are also important aspects of the design system.”
