  • Why do I need to know about common design patterns?

    Designers need to know about common design patterns because they are widely used solutions to frequently occurring problems in a given context. Understanding and using patterns like sign-up and login, shopping carts and checkout, search and filtering, and onboarding can help designers create effective and efficient user experiences, saving time and resources, and providing users with familiar and intuitive interfaces.


    Furthermore, understanding design patterns can also help designers communicate more effectively with other team members, such as developers, who may have a more technical understanding of the project requirements. It can also help designers develop a common language with their colleagues and stakeholders, improving collaboration and the overall quality of the design work.

  • Which design roles require knowledge of design patterns?

    The knowledge of design patterns can be beneficial for a wide range of design roles, including UX designers, interaction designers, visual designers, product designers, and front-end developers.


    For example, UX designers need to know how to create interfaces that are easy to navigate and meet the needs of users. Design patterns can assist them in identifying and resolving common problems, such as designing an efficient sign-up process or organizing content to help users find what they need quickly.


    Design patterns can also aid visual designers in creating aesthetically pleasing designs that are both beautiful and functional. By providing a common vocabulary and shared understanding of how different design elements work together, design patterns can help front-end developers write better code.
