Kotti Design System

This design system helps to unify our design language and provides the documentation for further product design decisions. The Kotti design system has two main parts: foundation and components.

The foundation is higher level and works as a guideline for the whole system, which defines the layout, color, icons, typography and writing style. It also creates styles and characteristics which are different from other design systems.

Components are more concrete elements. They are pre-defined and cannot be changed in most cases. These components include banners, buttons, drawers and more.

Design Principles

Keen: The design should encourage users to engage with the product.

Okay: It’s okay not to follow the foundation if there's good reason. It’s
okay to break the design principles when it’s the only way to solve the
requirement.

Transparent: Making the design easy to perceive or detect, user can process
smoothly without being aware of its presence.

Timely: The design need to response and help user finish their task in a
timely matter.

Intuitive: The design should be intuitive and easy to understand, and
decrease the learning curve.
