Design System

Design system consists of design language, design kit, component library, developer sandbox, and documentation site. 

Why is it important?
  • helps team members find common information
  • keeps consistency between all elements and keep them at the same standard
  • save time for project that reuse function and features
  • helps newcomers on showing how things work

Week 14

Portfolio

Individuals who reads your portfolio are HR, Peers, and Managers. They will check your CV, your skills, your field, learning curve, and thinking process.

The goal is to show your past and growth. Show them your priority and aims as well. Here are the details on what should be in your portfolio:

INTRO
  • What the project is about 
    • how long, who worked on it, and your role.
  • What it is
    • the format, who uses it, how does it help?
CONTEXT
  • What the environment is
    • where do we use it, what is it trying to solve, & what are the challenges.
SPECS
  • who made it, what did they use, and their limits.
DEMO
  • Show and tell
    • show how it moves, how it is used, what it looks like, and how it works.
    • visualize real people using it and their environment
FEATURES
  • Explain everything it does
    • all the functions, the parameters, and how flexible it is
  • What it does better
    • Comparisons to other, the data, and facts 
CHOICES
  • Breakdown
    • what was chosen, the decisions made, research, tests, and what didn't work.
RESULTS
  • Data
    • show the metric difference, past vs present
  • Timeline
    • current assessment, reflection, and future updates
CTA!
  • Call to Action
    • download CV, files, contact author, quotation, "give me a job" see full story..

You need to be flexible, prepare the project to show in different forms. A Case study, Showcase, and Snapshot. K
eep a system that is easy to access for your projects to show.
  • Portfolio: 1x Case Study, 2x Showcase, and several Snapshots
When showing your portfolio, show the results first then process. Take into consideration levels of reading. Don't explain the process, but explain the results instead (assume they know the process).

Remember to show what you tried & didn't work, the ups and downs. Show the outcome and what eventually worked. Show the real work of research and sketches, your role, and what you are in charge of. 

*When using AI, be specific on how you used it and why as it isn't clear if it is good or bad currently

Feedback

Week 13

Fix the hierarchy of information on the homepage, include the most important things first such as deals & offers / events. Remember to also rearrange the QR and point system so that they are aligned together for a more cohesive layout. The logo / icons of the store should also be featured in their deals page. Finally, add the icons for direction and location in the map system.

Week 14

Increase navbar size and font for easier readability. Fix the navbar so that it works to navigate through the pages and keep the animation that has been set as well. Add consistent margins for the app layout and spacing. Most importantly, focus on creating one good user flow instead of trying to make as many pages as possible.
