Submissions

If you want to add a set of design principles to the collection then great, and thanks! To ensure your subission is accepted please consider the following guidelines:

Guidelines

Submissions need to contain the following:

• A set of original Design Principles

• A source article, blog post or canonical page listing a set of design principles in more detail. Along with the principles themselves, a source article would contain something about how you or your team came up with these principles. Consider a few of the following questions:

  • How did you decide on what your design principles should be?
  • What you did you learn?
  • What worked, what didn’t work?
  • How do you follow these principles?
  • Have these principles made your process better?
  • If so, how?

You don’t need to cover all these things in detail. Overall we want to know the story behind how you created your principles.

Here are some great examples of those that do this:

• Airbnb
• Government Design Principles
• Josh Clark’s “Design in the Era of the Algorithm”

You can submit examples from other individuals, companies or teams that you think would be useful to the community.

For more information and documentation about how to submit take a look at the GitHub page.

Help needed

Each set of principles in examples should contain the following things:

• Overview
• Summary of each principle
• Source URL
• Author/creator
• Tags

If any of these things are missing you’ll see a “Help needed” message at the bottom of the page highlighting which things are missing.

If you want to help visit the GitHub page for more info.
