Vitaly Friedman’s (typically excellent) post https://lnkd.in/ehguxtQu reminds me of a particular, perennial risk with design systems. As a business continuously grows and evolves, meanwhile system adoption and absorption viably keep pace, demands on the system and its maintainers will never decrease, only increase. This is not a bad thing—rather, it is the price of success. The system becomes the product at a fundamental substrate level. At this point the product being sold, the people doing the making and selling, and the processes of these activities, can all suffer due to resource starvation of the design system. The business itself may suffer—after all, the user interface is everything a customer sees, interacts with, and thinks of as the product. If a design system is the main vector of accessibility, suffering may extend beyond usability into significant contractual and legal waters. There are sharks in those waters—best to avoid. Don’t snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with your design system investment. Productize and scale its resources with understanding and preparation for what success means, and be ready for it. Thank you. #DesignSystems #Accessibility

The Gestalt principles of visual perception describe how our brains make sense of what we see. For example, they explain how we associate a photo with the text of a newspaper article or understand a series of words as a sentence on a billboard. These principles originated from the field of Gestalt psychology in the early twentieth century. In this article, we explore the 10 most crucial Gestalt principles with practical tips for product design. Check it out! 📘💡

Exploring UX design with the help of a banana! 🍌 Today, we’re taking a lighthearted approach to explain how a banana represents the perfect User Experience (#UX) design. Taking inspiration from the famous work of Maurizio Cattelan, we want to illustrate some concepts of UX design from easy #accessibility to #responsiveness to visual cues. You will see, the banana is the ultimate user-friendly fruit.   1. Accessibility: Just like peeling a banana, a good design should be intuitive and easy to use.  2. Mobility / Responsiveness: The banana is easy to store and transport. Just as well, UX design should be consistent throughout devices and locations. 3. Visual Design: The bright yellow color grabs attention, just like effective visual design in UX guides the user's attention.   #FusionImpact #UXDesign #UserExperience #VisualDesign #DesignThinking #CreativeDesign #UserFriendly #UIDesign #HumorInDesign #DesignInspiration #Marketing 🌐 Sources  1. https://lnkd.in/eigiTBf5 2. https://lnkd.in/en9u_Jwh 3. https://lnkd.in/esbr2hTX 4. https://lnkd.in/e_dCCnCS 5. https://lnkd.in/e4JQugT3 6. https://lnkd.in/enJ-7Hte

Many practitioners mimic true UX (or participate in “UX theatre”). Their intentions are good, but they often look for a quick and simple resolution that doesn’t necessarily get to the meat of the issue, resulting in a perceived improvement.   Partnering with Design & Critical Thinking, Scott Plewes and Jennifer Fraser recently discussed how, in a world focused on metrics and numbers, UX can continue to ask the right questions and learn to adapt to the current world of design. “The relationship between UX and its value to business is highly influenced by an increasing desire for quantitative-based insights and metrics, and an amplified misunderstanding of UX.”   Questions they discuss: - What is the proper way to evaluate the state of UX? - Is UX in a losing competition with equations and algorithms? - How does the UX community evolve to stay ahead of the curve?   Continue the train of thought with Scott and Jennifer’s insightful dialogue, found at https://lnkd.in/eJqgTm3e #design #discussion #ux #research #criticalthinking
