Having design principles is like having a set of constraints or guidelines to work with. Aside from having a set of constraints that help make design decisions, I want to create an ecosystem at IdeaScale so that design can thrive as a system with artifacts to support its process. So, after a few months of some seriously brain-teasing custom development projects, I got together with my manager to think about what our ideal design principles could be.

Dear Project Managers, It has been a very enjoyable experience working with everyone over the last couple of months and sharing our ideas on UX design. User-centric design principles, however, do not replace the fact-finding mission we all need to take as UX designers; they merely serve as a starting point for making design decisions.

Design patterns are generally considered a good thing, but do they actually help run a user experience group? As a user experience group manager and an observer (and sponsor) of design pattern exercises, I’ve come to have serious questions about their actual utility. It’s not that design pattern libraries are bad, but that in a world of limited resources, it is it is not clear that the investment is worth it. Design Patterns take a lot of investment.

“ Just like with any other UX research or design tool, context plays a critical role in determining how effective prototyping will be for you. When aimed well, a prototype can answer design questions and communicate design ideas. Most of the time when we talk about a “high-fidelity&# prototype we are referring to a prototype that has some visual or industrial design applied to it. These wireframes show layout and functionality but have no visual design.

Designers need flexibility to define the solution once they have complete information. We are not a design factory.
