When organizing the Figma file, I followed the Atomic Design Principles. advocate for breaking down user interfaces into smaller, reusable components to facilitate a systematic and scalable approach to design and development. The concept draws inspiration from chemistry, where atoms combine to form molecules, which in turn combine to form organisms and ultimately complex structures. similarly, in atomic design, UI elements are categorized into distinct levels of abstraction:
- Atoms: Atoms are the basic building blocks of a user interface. These are the smallest, individual elements such as buttons, inputs, icons, and text labels.
- Molecules: Molecules are combinations of atoms that form more complex UI components with specific functionalities like input fields with labels, button groups, or navigation menus.
- Organisms: Organisms are larger, more complex UI components that consist of groups of molecules and/or atoms like header sections, product cards.
- Templates: Templates provide the layout structure for a page or screen by combining multiple organisms into cohesive arrangements.
- Pages: Pages are instances of templates populated with actual content, representing the final visual and interactive experience presented to users. Pages demonstrate how the design system is applied in real-world contexts and provide a tangible representation of the interface in action.
