The Foundation

A well-built house starts with its foundation. The foundation of a design system is its spacing and grid system. An 8pt grid system consists of a 12 column grid and an 8px baseline grid. For the spacing system, I went with a rem-based guide that aligns with the 8px grid. 

Typography

Our application font is Proxima Nova, a clean and versatile typeface with a solid history of use in applications at scale. It's quite versatile having several variations in weight which make it look great as a heading font and as body text.

We use the alternate "a" as well as "y" which gives the type a more open, friendly feeling.

Iconography

For the Pollen Design System, I went with the Font Awesome icon library. It's simple, informative, and complements the overall visual language of the design system. It comes in 3 weights and offers thousands of icons in each weight ensuring we have an icon for every use case. 

Color Palette

An aesthetically pleasing color palette is obviously important but in application design, we must place a higher value on clear communication. Color can communicate things like the hierarchy of information, interactive states, and the difference between distinct elements.

Colors have meaning and are selected intentionally for their use case as well as for what looks great. Pollen Design System has two base colors with varying shades and tints as well as an extended palette for adding additional context as needed. 

We took care in selecting our base colors to maintain a AAA accessibility rating on a light background and at least a AA accessibility rating when used together on opposing backgrounds.

Buttons

Buttons are one of the core elements in any user interface and the Pollen design system is no exception. We have several different button styles giving us flexibility in layout and hierarchy. Buttons come in multiple sizes, have appending and pretending icons, a loading state, and the obvious interaction states.

Inputs

Form fields and selection elements are again part of the core of any design system. We use a single input style across the application. It comes in varying sizes and all of the interaction states are accounted for. Of course, we take accessibility into consideration when choosing colors and font sizing. 

Pollen Design System contains all of the radios, checkboxes, toggles, selection elements one would expect.

Additional Components

Pollen Design System has many additional components for all manner of uses. From avatars to date pickers to an employee selection modal, Pollen has everything our team needs to build powerful, scalable user interfaces.

Illustrations

For our in-app illustrations, we chose the Brooklyn Illustration Library from Streamline. The diverse, friendly, animated style brings a simple sophistication to the Bambee platform.
