UX 2023 - Design Systems3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
A design system is a collection of reusable components, guided by clear standards, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications. Students will learn about commonly used design systems, including Material Design and Human Interface Guidelines, and how they differ from branding standards or style guides.
