The training will be conducted in Bulgarian.
In this workshop, you will gain knowledge on how to understand and use the basic design tools to create and develop an effective design system designed to last.
Space: The first topic we will consider is the space in which we will place our design. The screen is the environment in which we work and we will need to get to know it with its features. We will go over how people use different screens, what are the most popular resolutions, how we can summarize and arrange the wide variety of screens and how to feel confident in the abundance of scenarios.
Fonts: The second topic we will look at is how we work with text and what are the possibilities that typography provides us. We will go through choosing an appropriate font, how to use the possibilities of stretch type characteristics, how to combine fonts and even use a font for icons.
Colors: The third topic we will look at is how we use color in our projects and how we can make its use simple and understandable. We will learn about the characteristics of screen colors, color spaces and their advantages and disadvantages, as well as ways to automate a number of color-related decisions such as branding, interaction, etc.
Tokens: Throughout the workshop, we will also look at how our decisions are reflected in the real code of the future project. This way, we will think in the categories of front-end engineers and will not lose touch with the real world in which our design system will be implemented.
During the workshop, participants will build the foundations of their design system for a project of their choice. In practice, they will go through the main stages by asking questions, sharing and discussing the results of their work with the other participants.
