Just wanted to say thank you so much, Christopher, for everything you're doing for the design community. I truly appreciate your efforts! Please keep up the excellent work! You're making a significant impact for us, designers striving to enhance our design processes and elevate our craft. Thank you! 🙏
Everything explained in such a cool and understandable way. And even I, who don't speak English, can follow ... TOP. One of the best tut series ever ....
After Figma got dark mode I haven't seen a single person using light mode. Not on youtube or any colleagues. No matter what time of day I use dark mode in Figma. Makes me wonder how many people use dark themes in general, perhaps I should start designing dark mode for everything I make. Myself I always use a browser theming plugin for desktop and I use the dark mode UI setting default for mobile, but I bet most of the UI's I'm exposed to are made light. Anyways, what a sidetrack! Thanks for sharing spacing strategies.
Hi Christopher, thanks for sharing! When will the iconography video be released? Thank you so much for your great work. Really well done. I am following all the steps to create my FDS.
Thanks so much, your pace is perfect and level of knowledge is amazing! Quick question which I can't seem to find the answer to. I've seen others set up number primitives using an 8pt grid and then linking to them as aliases doing it this way. I can't understand the value of doing this (your way seems much more straightforward), do you know a reason why you'd do it this way?
I actually do this in my premium design system called Scale where I have a set of variables called "Unit" that start at 2, then 4, 8, 12 then multiples of 8 up to 120. I then use these as aliases whenever I create a number based variable. It's a good way to set a global set of values that no none in your organisation can go out if, ie: 6 or 31. You can take a look at Scale here: scaledesignsystem.com In the FDS series, I'm trying to keep things as less complex as possible and still end up helping you create a DS that you could use in a mid to large sized organisation 🤘.
Hi Chris, I'm following Scale DS now. Just wonder how did you create Logo/Scale in different sizes? I tried with my brand logo many times, but couldn't resize it from the instance. Thanks

I really like the T-shirt sizing spacing mechanism.
Looking forward to the next episode.
The cap is looking great.

Blame it on After Effects, I’ve been using it since it was first released and it’s always been dark mode 🤘😀
I had to pause the video to give you this...
You do have a strong sense of humour sir 😂
Humour so dry, it’s got spice being harvested on it 🙂.

Layout is next, then border radius and width. Once the foundation parts in Design Tokens are done, then I'll do Iconography 🙂.
@@ChristopherDeane can't wait! Thanks again

Oh, just figured it out. Use scale tool instead. Took me hours on this. :(
I use (shift + enter) to duplicate a variable.
Which is something I find out after shooting this episode. I’ll use that trick in the next video 🤘
