Documenting design can be overwhelming for creative designers, particularly in communicating how to use their creations. To address this challenge, a structured spreadsheet tool was developed, tested with design systems teams, and utilized in documentation efforts like the Teradata Covalent Design System. This approach facilitates efficient and consistent writing about design components, making the documentation process manageable and effective. Content designers play a crucial role, ensuring the documentation is clear and useful, thereby contributing to the overall quality of digital experiences.
Guiding people to build digital experiences efficiently and consistently is the goal of most design systems. Using a spreadsheet tool can enhance efficiency in documenting.
The outline I developed, termed 'Mad Libs for design systems,' streamlines the writing process, allowing teams to effectively document their design components.
