Overview
Building a Style Guide with Frames and Auto Layout
In this video, I guide you through the process of organizing a style guide using frames and auto layout in design software.
We explore practical techniques to ensure a well-structured and visually appealing style guide that can be easily updated and expanded. In the video, I walk you through the steps to chunk elements of a style guide into frames, demonstrating how to label and group these elements efficiently. By utilizing auto layout, we achieve a neat alignment and spacing of components. I also show how to apply beautiful graphics and gradients to typography, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the style guide. Finally, we discuss the potential of incorporating 3D elements into our design using Vectari.
Summary
- Introduction to Frames and Labels: We start by chunking every element of the style guide into frames, ensuring they are well-labeled for clarity.
- Creating Style Guide Headers: The title is converted into a component called "style guide header," which is then organized using auto layout for vertical alignment.
- Aligning Elements with Auto Layout: Auto layout adapts the spacing from the created frame, allowing for easy alignment and expansion of elements.
- Applying Graphics to Typography: By masking typography with gradients and graphics, we create visually appealing titles and headings.
- Finalizing the Style Guide: The mood board and style guide are almost complete, with organized frames for typography, colors, logos, and buttons.
- Incorporating 3D Elements: The video concludes with a plan to incorporate 3D elements using Vectari in the next lesson.
- Copying and Pasting Frames: Demonstrating how copying and pasting frames can help expand the style guide efficiently.
- Renaming Frames: Frames are renamed for better understanding and future expansion, including typography, colors, logos, and buttons.
- Design Direction: A quick overview of the design direction, emphasizing the use of backgrounds and illustrations.
- Upcoming Lessons: Teasing the next lesson, where we will explore the power of Vectari to add 3D elements to our designs.
Highlights
🎨 Organizing Elements: Learn how to chunk style guide elements into frames and label them effectively for better organization.
🔧 Using Auto Layout: Understand the benefits of auto layout for aligning and spacing components seamlessly.
💡 Enhancing Design: Discover techniques to apply graphics and gradients to typography, adding a creative touch to your style guide.
