Like great design – and effective systems – this book is a complete, connected, compelling guide for crafting great digital product experiences. “ Design Systems is essential reading for all designers and design teams. If you work on today’s web, I’d strongly recommend reading this insightful, approachable book.” “Alla’s book outlines a process not just for creating a design system, but sustaining it over time. We’ve been honored to receive very positive reviews from people working on design systems on small and large scale. It has been our goal to make the book as practical and useful as possible. Reviewed by Karen McGrane and Jeremy Keith. Everyone in the product team could benefit from reading this book, but particularly visual and interaction designers, UX practitioners, and front-end developers. The book is aimed mainly at small and medium-sized product teams trying to integrate modular thinking into their organization’s culture. It may not answer every question, but it will help you figure out just the right strategy for establishing and evolving a design system in your organization.

It’s based on Alla’s experiences, case-studies from AirBnB, Atlassian, Eurostar, TED, and Sipgate, plus 18 months of research and interviews - all attempting to figure out what works and what doesn’t work in real-life products. Throughout this book, Alla Kholmatova, previously a lead designer at FutureLearn, will share an approach and the key qualities of effective, enduring design systems. Some get better with time, more cohesive and better functioning others get worse, becoming bloated and cumbersome. Some inspire teams to contribute to them, while others are neglected. Some can generate coherent user experiences, others produce confusing patchwork designs. Not all design systems are equally effective. Jump to table of contents ↓ About The Book After 18 months of research and writing, interviewing AirBnB, Atlassian, Eurostar, TED and Sipgate, the book is finally done - and it’s shipping. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Alla Kholmatova to find out what makes a design system effective and what works and what doesn’t work in real-life products. Our systems get out-of-date too quickly or just don’t get enough traction in our companies. We experiment with pattern libraries and style guides and almighty design systems, yet while some of us succeed, most of us fail. Many of us have started to approach design in a more modular way recently. Hardcover $44 Get the Print (incl. eBook)
