Design and development go hand in hand, however it can be difficult to collaborate between these two different skill sets, even just because we speak different languages. Design patterns and guidelines aren’t really the answer because they just detail the how, but don’t highlight the underlying why. The gestalt principles are at the foundation of human perception and give us a framework to think about design solutions, allowing us to make the right decisions.
We’ll start from there to give a solid foundation to everyone that wants to be able to move the first steps into design, or just understand it better for their day-to-day work.
