Also as a developer who's built multiple design systems from scratch together with UX designers, its super important to keep in mind that we often start off with an existing design system (MUI, Ant, etc.) and that often times its about modifying existing ones!

This is a much more common scenario in my case, I get hired to come in and fix design messes, and usually there are a lot of existing libraries in place, not to mention sunk cost sentiment around them@@TimGabe
One of the most simple and well explained videos! Already subscribed your channel!
This was amazingly well put together. I really appreciate how you explain everything from the concept to examples, how, why, and when to use design systems! Keep up the good work! 💯

Very nice Brother. Thanks for decluttering the thoughts about the design system.
Dear Tim, I really appreciate how you make complex topics simple to understand and it feels so easy when I learn from you. Super helpful. Always wanted to learn how to create a design system but overwhelmed by watching other huge systems as you said, but this video is very helpful and helped me get started very quickly, wrap it up faster and use it regularly. Thanks a lot!! 🙏

"Think Freely" - that is exactly what I say to people when they are starting a design system. I tell them that when I get to the point where I have to update the same thing across 50 artboards and I am sick of copying/pasting for 20 minutes - it's now time to make some components. Because by the time you have that many artboards in your prototype, you've refined things enough to warrant spending the time to make refined components.
Great video. Im just starting out so this was quite easy to understand. Thanks❤

Hi Tim, Thanks for your explanations. you don't only teach how to create design systems but also how to apply them in the next stages of designing an app/product. a question, do you drag those atoms(icons, text, button) manually to frames in order to create a page? or is there any tips for faster way to do this? Thanks again
@TimGabe
5 ай бұрын
glad you liked it!! you could create templates as described in the video and use those as (bigger) building blocks for your pages 😃 but generally yes, you'd either build out a library of templates from your components that you can reuse, or build atom by atom!
Did you make the design system for Appwrite? The glass effect on cards is superb.
Hi! I'm working on a large product with a web and mobile application. I wonder how would you organize components for adaptive app. For example mobile app using bottomsheet and web is using dialogs. Would you keep components for mobile and desktop separated? Also if I can ask question not related to video. For big adaptive projects would you keep projects for web and mobile separated or grouped by the context?
could you please show a tutorial on how to design a passport in Figma?
Design system for website and e~commerce are you experience Does it fit or more for webapps apps😊

hey René! 😃 unless you’re working in a big team or if you already have a defined design system, I think this method can be used for any early stage project, regardless if it’s an ecom or an app. ☺️
In your opinion, Design System is better made at the beginning or at the end? Btw, Great Content 🔥🔥

it feels weird to me that a button is often defined as an atom, when you can split it into its typography, shape and colour elements
@TimGabe

that's true! but i guess we don't consider those kinds of elements as part of the component system in the same way

tutorial is confusing. You should say or tell what action you take meaning are you coping, grouping, using frame. because now i dont know how to create an organism. is it a group? is it a frame?
