Just wanted to say thank you so much, Christopher, for everything you're doing for the design community. I truly appreciate your efforts! Please keep up the excellent work! You're making a significant impact for us, designers striving to enhance our design processes and elevate our craft. Thank you! 🙏

I really like the T-shirt sizing spacing mechanism. Looking forward to the next episode.

I had to pause the video to give you this... You do have a strong sense of humour sir 😂

Humour so dry, it’s got spice being harvested on it 🙂.

Hi Christopher, thanks for sharing! When will the iconography video be released? Thank you so much for your great work. Really well done. I am following all the steps to create my FDS.

Layout is next, then border radius and width. Once the foundation parts in Design Tokens are done, then I'll do Iconography 🙂.

@@ChristopherDeane can't wait! Thanks again

The cap is looking great.

After Figma got dark mode I haven't seen a single person using light mode. Not on youtube or any colleagues. No matter what time of day I use dark mode in Figma. Makes me wonder how many people use dark themes in general, perhaps I should start designing dark mode for everything I make. Myself I always use a browser theming plugin for desktop and I use the dark mode UI setting default for mobile, but I bet most of the UI's I'm exposed to are made light. Anyways, what a sidetrack! Thanks for sharing spacing strategies.

Blame it on After Effects, I’ve been using it since it was first released and it’s always been dark mode 🤘😀

Hi Chris, I'm following Scale DS now. Just wonder how did you create Logo/Scale in different sizes? I tried with my brand logo many times, but couldn't resize it from the instance. Thanks

Oh, just figured it out. Use scale tool instead. Took me hours on this. :(

Thanks so much, your pace is perfect and level of knowledge is amazing! Quick question which I can't seem to find the answer to. I've seen others set up number primitives using an 8pt grid and then linking to them as aliases doing it this way. I can't understand the value of doing this (your way seems much more straightforward), do you know a reason why you'd do it this way?

I actually do this in my premium design system called Scale where I have a set of variables called "Unit" that start at 2, then 4, 8, 12 then multiples of 8 up to 120. I then use these as aliases whenever I create a number based variable. It's a good way to set a global set of values that no none in your organisation can go out if, ie: 6 or 31. You can take a look at Scale here: scaledesignsystem.com In the FDS series, I'm trying to keep things as less complex as possible and still end up helping you create a DS that you could use in a mid to large sized organisation 🤘.

I use (shift + enter) to duplicate a variable.

Which is something I find out after shooting this episode. I’ll use that trick in the next video 🤘
