Developing your own Pattern Libraries
2
Pattern libraries are the most beneficial when
your organization has a large range of products
that use similar functionalities and features.

Here is a step-by-step approach to create your
own pattern libraries

1. Identify features, functionalities, basically
patterns that are repeatedly used across
the products. Examples include Sign In, Sign Up,
Form Designs, Notifications, Error
Messages, Emails, Content Types etc.

2. Research various use cases for each of these
patterns, then Design patterns and Document
the behavior details for your organization to
uptake.

3. For example, the Sign In page may have a few
use cases across your products. There could
be instances with 2 fields for Sign In and in
some instances 3-4 fields. Likewise, there could
be use cases and variations of other design
patterns across your product.

4. Include behavior documentation such as hover,
animations, on clicks, keyboard actions etc.
related to the patterns that can't be explained
via designs.

5. Include notes about flexibility, use cases and
the visual style of these patterns. Add Contact
details for any questions.

6. Keep patterns updated fresh since the
Interaction Design keeps evolving in this
fast-paced technological world. Keeping
patterns up to date is more critical than adding
new patterns.

7. Each pattern design takes much more time than
creating a single design. So, ensure quality and
detailing. Understand that these patterns are to
be up taken not only by other designers but also
by developers and project managers.

library. It is a long- term investment
eventually resulting in consistency and
shorter design time across your products.
