Laying the Foundations is a book about how to design websites and products systematically, and a comprehensive guide to creating, documenting, and maintaining design systems. It's an ideal book for web designers (of all levels) and especially web design teams. It teaches you how to design websites more efficiently and work better together as a design team and with web developers.

This is real talk about creating websites, products, design systems, and digital brand guidelines. No jargon, no glossing over the hard realities, and no company hat. Just good advice, experience, and practical tips.

System design is not a scary thing — this book aims to dispel that myth. It covers what design systems are, why they are important, and how to get stakeholder buy-in to create one. It introduces you to a simple model, and two very different approaches to creating a design system. What's unique about this book is its focus on the importance of brand in design systems, web design, product design, and when creating documentation. It's a comprehensive guide that’s simple to follow and easy on the eye.

Very thorough read on design systems from getting the sign-off from the wider company for the project resources to putting the system together to maintaining it

No nonsense guide to setting up your design system

I wish we had this book when setting up our design system! It is already proved essential in ongoing iteration and evolution of our DS... worth every penny!

Imbarazzante

Reviewed in Italy on 30 December 2020

Premettendo che non sto giudicando il libro di per se, che mi sembra molto interessante, ma la sua stampa. Che, come detto prima, è imbarazzante.

Non so a chi abbia pensato che stampare un libro di design in bianco e nero potesse essere una buona idea, ma non lo è. Ma fosse solo quello il problema. Le immagini sono stampate così male e a qualità così bassa che nemmeno si legge ciò che c'è scritto.
Sarebbe bastato mettere un link a cui indirizzare per le immagini a colori, ma così non è stato fatto.
Sembra un epub preso e stampato così come è.
Risparmiate 23 euro perchè sono un sacco di soldi per un libro stampato in queste condizioni.
Lo avrei voluto a colori, ma purtroppo non è disponibile al di fuori degli USA. Peccato, ma devo restituirlo perché così è praticamente inutilizzabile.

Buch in Schwarzweiß

Reviewed in Germany on 18 April 2021

Habe das Buch umgehend zurückgeschickt. Das Buch ist - nicht wie im Original - in Schwarz-Weiß gedruckt. Da es um Design Systeme geht, also auch um Style Pattern, war es für mich unbrauchbar, weil die Abbildungen schwer zu differenzieren sind (z.B. Farbpalette), zum Teil m.E. auch zu grob gerastert und einfach umgewandelt. Aber ja, wer nur lesen will, dem kann das egal sein. Finde den Preis dafür aber dann nicht angemessen. Habe mir alternativ eine ePub geladen, was funktional auch mehr Sinn macht, denn viele Quellen sind direkt ins Web verlinkt.
