Design Systems with Travis Gertz

In this episode, we talk to Travis Gertz from Loud­er Than Ten about design sys­tems: what they are, and why are they so hard to define and under­stand? We dis­cuss whether the world is a bet­ter place with the gray same­ness of pass­able but monot­o­nous design from Word­Press themes com­pared to the chaot­ic indi­vid­u­al­i­ty of MySpace and danc­ing hamsters.

We go on to talk about some mod­ern design tools like Fig­ma, and how we can use the tools we have avail­able in Craft CMS and oth­er sys­tems to help us iter­ate through design.

Final­ly, we mean­der into the world of Breathar­i­ans, tran­scen­dence, and how to pick the right tool for the job when design­ing a website.
