New Adobe’s tools for efficient and enhanced user experience.
Adobe presents its new UI/UX system for developers and designers. It’s a brand-new system called Spectrum. This has to make Adobe’s apps more consistent and similar.
Main principles of Spectrum system are rational, human, and focused. This actually means a try to make things as simple and nice as possible. In such way Adobe’s app design embraces the famous principle that good design is being “as little design as possible.”
Of course, a drive for common products simplicity reinterprets decades of Adobe’s design made for desktop computers before new types of devices like smartphones or tablets. Spectrum supports the new way of adaptive and accessible design for every component in its library, like e.g. buttons, colors, typography principles, etc. The system continues the concept of accessible software and its standards meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.0.
Spectrum has distinct guidelines for different UX types like interface components or color systems. These design essentials unify modern user experience as a repository of Adobe’s design thinking where all components are well-documented and represent best principles around contemporary usability, accessibility, and cross-platform design.

They continue were used to excite the world with magical music 🎹for more than twenty years since their debut album “Homework”. Daft Punk declared its epilogue in 2021.
To me it’s one of the best music choices for a geek creative synonymous to UX. Still awesomely enigmatic, glamorous and very nicely donemusic 🎵for the public of many ages.

“Material Design is a visual language that synthesizes the classic principles of good design with the innovation of technology and science.” –Material.io
Google’s design system seems something very original, fresh and nice in today’s web design trends.
Material is inspired by the physical world and its textures, including how they reflect light and cast shadows. It is guided by print design methods like typography, grids, space, scale, color, and imagery.
Its surfaces re-imagine the mediums of paper, color and ink. A totally new word in designing for the web. Impressive.
