This weeks lecture was spent on learning the prototyping process in the delivery phase for the project.
Prototyping is where you begin to further develop the product that you have been working on by adding in ways to help you navigate throughout the product and much more.
Whenever it reaches the development stage of any project you can often find yourself getting lost in figma, anytime that this happens you should maybe go back to your initial wireframes and sketches and try to find a solution to your problem or issues through looking at them.
We focused on how to build a reusable design system and how to update things like colours and text styles. We looked at the likes of variables, variants and component libraries. Design systems make the design process faster and more efficient, especially when passing work on to developers. With tools like variables, we can easily control and update many parts of a design at the same time, which saves time and keeps everything consistent.
I thought that this class was very interesting, especially with the Re-usable Design Systems segment. As it makes you realise how much time you can save with the whole designing process whenever you make yourself the likes of the components and variables to use.
