🫤 Usability rant • #3 According to Adobe's design system documentation: “Alternatively, quiet text fields can have no visible background. This style works best when a clear layout (vertical stack, table, grid) makes it easy to parse. Too many quiet components in a small space can be hard to read." 💡 'Pro' tip: Line-only inputs should be banned- that simple (reduced visibility + lower discoverability. And no- they don't look 'cleaner', they look like lines...) (And for Adobe, If you really need to use those 'quiet text fields', maybe make sure there are no horizontal lines nearby, those don't help 🥲)

🔍 Design Decisions for Effective Search and Filter Patterns in Information-Dense Digital Products As a product designer, implementing search and filter functionalities is critical to enhancing user experience in information-rich environments. Here’s why these design decisions are game-changers: Key Design Decisions: ℹ Information Design: Crafting an intuitive layout where search and filter options are prominently placed ensures users can quickly access these tools. Organizing data into clear categories and using concise labels helps users understand and navigate the system effortlessly. 🆎 Typographical Hierarchy: Employing a clear typographical hierarchy guides users' attention. Important elements like search bars and filter buttons should use larger, bold fonts, while secondary information can use smaller, regular fonts. This visual differentiation helps users process information efficiently. ⚪ Whitespace Utilization: Effective use of whitespace is crucial in reducing cognitive load. By providing ample space around search and filter elements, users can focus better without feeling overwhelmed. Whitespace also enhances readability and the overall aesthetic appeal of the interface. ♿ Accessibility: Ensuring that search and filter functionalities are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, is paramount. This includes keyboard navigability, screen reader compatibility, and sufficient contrast ratios for text and interactive elements. 🍴 Reusability Across Screens: Designing these features with reusability in mind allows for a consistent user experience across different parts of the product. Whether users are in a document library, product catalog, or data dashboard, the search and filter patterns should be familiar and function seamlessly. #ProductDesign #UXDesign #UIDesign #InformationDesign #Accessibility #DigitalProducts #DesignThinking #UserExperience #DesignPatterns

The #FMS:Workplace UI Designer, part of the Designer Module by Wohltmann Consulting and Coyne Technology Consulting, just got 2 new features: gradient headers and required field color control. I could have easily done a video of us setting the header gradient to go from red to yellow traveling from left to right or top to bottom and changing the required field color from red to blue. But since we have already done quite a few walk-through videos of the UI designer showcasing its functionality (if you missed them, I will add a link to the YouTube videos in the comments) I decided to try something different: demonstrate the power of the UI Designer by creating a real-life example for a company. Johnson Controls is the perfect example company now that they own FM:Systems. The challenge: reskin #FMSWorkplace to use the #JCI logo, color palette, resemble their website/product-suite when done, use no more than 3 custom colors (plus white and black), it must use a gradient header and a different required field color, and do it in less than 30 minutes. The result is a finished product that uses 2 custom colors and looks polished, modern, and like it belongs in the JCI product suite, all of which took about 20 minutes (more than 1/2 of which was spent downloading and formatting different logos, matching colors, and trying different header gradient/logo combinations). Are you ready to make your FMS:Workplace environment look like it belongs to your company? Contact dave@wohltmannconsulting.com or eric@coynetechconsulting.com for more information.

New Adobe's Design System 🤌🏼 They said : " We saw common ideas about what Spectrum 2 should accomplish: 🔹Every experience should “feel at home,” no matter where “home” is. 🔹Every experience should be accessible and inclusive. 🔹Every experience should be not only be functional, but joyful too " 🫶🏼 #adobe #designsystem #uiux #icons #colors #design
