Patterns, patterns everywhere

Posted in UX design | Feb 1, 10:18 am

It seems that you cannot turn a web page these days for talk of pattern libraries. Whilst I don’t want to repeat lists of other libraries that are out there, I think it’s useful to highlight a couple of recent articles talking about the worth of using patterns as part of your design process.

First up is the transcript of an interesting conversation with Will Evans, Erin Malone, Christian Crumlish and Lucas Pettinati about Pattern Languages for Interaction Design:

A great article and plenty of useful links to pattern libraries.

Secondly, some thoughts and musings from Jared Spool and Nathan Curtis on achieving pattern and component reuse:
