Last week we released phase 1 of the new App Design Guides, which included Get started and Building blocks. Now we have just released phase 2: Patterns. This includes handy guidance on gestures, navigation and layout possibilities to provide a great user experience in your app.
Navigation: user journeys
Find guidance for utilizing components for effective and natural user journeys within your UI.
Layouts: using Grid Units
Use the Grid Unit System to help visualise how much space you have in order to create a consistent and proportionate UI.
More to come…
More sections will be added to patterns in the future, such as search, accessibility and communication.
Up next is phase 3: System integration; which includes the number of a touchpoints your app can plug into inside the Ubuntu operating system shell, such as the launcher, notifications and indicators.
