We're tasked with making interfaces for more users in more contexts using more browsers on more devices with more screen sizes and more capabilities than ever before. That's a daunting task indeed. Thankfully, design systems are here to help.
Atomic Design details all that goes into creating and maintaining robust design systems, allowing you to roll out higher quality, more consistent UIs faster than ever before. This book introduces a methodology for thinking of our UIs as thoughtful hierarchies, discusses the qualities of effective pattern libraries, and showcases techniques to transform your team's design and development workflow.
Probably fantastic for someone pretty new to web design or not familiar with the challenges of consistent design in large organisations.
I've been following Brad's work for years and really like the patterns he's developed. Because of my familiarity, the book felt slow and repetitive at times, but the ideas in here, and the experience that brought them about, is what is important. I'd recommend this book to any team trying to find a sustainable solution to design patterns.
