Autodesk Principles
Design principles from Autodesk's Human Interface Guidelines, focusing on customer needs, connected systems, and making complex tools clear.
-
Put customers first
Understand who uses the product and what they’re trying to achieve. Design decisions should flow from customer needs, not internal convenience.
-
Connected and interconnected
Products should work together as part of a larger ecosystem. Data and workflows should flow seamlessly between tools.
-
Adapt and grow
Design for change and evolution. Products should accommodate different skill levels and grow with users as their needs develop.
-
Make the complex beautifully clear
Professional tools handle complex tasks, but complexity shouldn’t mean confusion. Present information clearly and reduce cognitive load.
-
Distinctively Autodesk
Maintain a consistent identity across products while respecting each tool’s unique purpose. Users should recognise the Autodesk experience.
