Design System for a Complex Apps — From Primitives to Semantic to Component variables
Fees: Rs 500 | Tonight 10:00 pm IST
Design System for a Complex Apps—
From Primitives to Semantic variables to Component level
Design Along in Figma
As new features and screens are added, a primitive-only variable structure may no longer be sufficient.
In this practical session, participants will evolve a a feature-rich product into a complex app and understand the relationship between primitive, semantic, and component-level variables.
Topics covered
Extending the feature-rich app with new complex features
Understanding primitive, semantic, and component-level relationships
Mapping semantic variables to primitive values
Creating variables for text, surfaces, borders, icons, actions, and feedback
Managing hover, pressed, selected, disabled, success, warning, and error states
Understanding when component-level variables are required
Creating component-specific flexibility without unnecessary complexity
Updating multiple screens through variable changes
How variable architecture changes as the app grows
Avoiding direct use of primitive variables inside complex components
Case study demonstrating the evolution of a design system
Examples from feature-rich applications
Practical outcome
Participants will evolve their basic variable system into a structured architecture containing primitive, semantic, and component-level relationships.
Ideal For
UX designers, UI designers, product designers, design students, freelancers, and design teams who want to improve their design system skills and understand how tokens and variables work in real product environments.
