25. Nomenclature

26. Pattern Library This is a library of standardised UI patterns. They are the final designs, and can be delivered in the form of a repository of design files, or a symbol library/UI kit. It is the resource for designers to build from. Style Guide This is the documentation resource for the design system. Since the design system is purely code and assets, the style guide is a site to demonstrate the UI patterns with references to aid in implementation and usage. Design System The entirety of the standardised UI patterns, frameworks, assets, and documentation, as well as the processes and people involved. It is the ecosystem that drives and supports the unified evolution of the product(s). Definitions Clarifying our “Style Guide” Nomenclature - Nate Baldwin

81. Conclusions

82. Takeaway #1 A design system impacts a whole company,  not only its tech/dev teams.

83. Takeaway #2 Building a design system is a long process. So don’t build a style guide because is cool.   Do it if is useful & solves business problems. And while doing it, have clear in mind what are your objectives and top-level goals.

84. Takeaway #3 A style guide improves the communication between all the members of an organisation. It has to create a more cohesive user experience, encourage collaboration, and create efﬁciencies. A design system is made by artefacts, people, and products. Don’t forget the people. Brad Frost - Clarity Conference writeup
