Design System Exercise (due November 25)
On this page:
Introduction
To make sure you are ready to assemble your projects this exercise has you putting together the components of a design system as a team.
Instructions
For this week's exercise you will define the beginnings of your design system for the final project. This exercise is to be done in Figma.
As a team please complete a document separate from your existing wireframes that visually defines the following for P4: Design and Develop:
- Two interactive elements and how they behave — i.e. the default, hovered and focused state for main navigation buttons. This should include:
- Font family
- Font sizing (in rems)
- Text and background colours
- Any other styling specific to the buttons
- The styles that change between states
- At least three levels of type hierarchy — i.e. three different heading levels, or two different heading levels and paragraph styling. This should include:
- Font family
- Font sizing (in rems)
- Text and background colours
- Any other relevant styling.
A sample submission specifying different interactive elements and a type hierarchy.
