UI design becomes increasingly important for products and services. Influencing their users' expierence. UX itself determines the value of digital offerings and is their key differentiator. But "historically grown" incoherent interfaces deteriorate value and brand of products and services.
This talk is about Google's Material design system, that helps to avoid (or overcome) design dept and to enables scaling UX across platforms, products and devices. Modularity and standardisation of repeatedly used aspects helps speeding up processes and increasing business value. Marerial Design system helps facilitating the designer-developer workflow too.

– Lots of people and tools involved
– Little-to-no testing (technical and UX)
– Minimal-to-no documentation or specification
– Disparate components across all lines of business
UX, DESIGN & CODE DEBT

UI design becomes increasingly important
for products and services.
UX determines the value of digital offerings
and is their key differentiator .
MULTI-SCREEN & OMNI-CHANNEL
12. @BennoLoewenberg
+ Design & code debt reduction (cohesiveness)
+ More focus on specialties (no redundancies)
+ Speeding up the processes (design, handover, code)
+ Increasing business value (maintainability, scalability)
GOALS
15. “ As a front-end dev,
it is my job to abstract design
into repeatable rules.”

Design system
16. @BennoLoewenberg
+ Blueprint for baseline UI and interaction patterns
+ Rules defining the interplay of technological
and visual components for consistent UX
+ Codify a system to encourage re-use
across products for a cohesive UX
INTERPLAY
17. @BennoLoewenberg
+ Standardisation of basics frees up to focus on
e. g. handoff process, holistic view on features
and their impact to the system.
+ Structure for the foundation of all products
and product versions, without requiring
a lot of efford each time.

“ Four problems a design system
can help you to avoid:
• Inconsistencies,
• Misunderstandings,
• Thinking in Pages,
• Duplicate Work.”
