© Rob Fitzgibbon 2015
Well Let Me Tell You…
In a digital project, a Style Tile is…
• A single deliverable of images, colors, words and UI elements that
• Defines both “soft” design themes and “hard” front end UI elements
• Device agnostic
• Resolution agnostic; doesn’t rely on fixed width
• Responsive design-friendly
• Described as paint chip or color swatch
• Avoids the vagueness of a mood board and the literalness of a screen
comp
• Popularized by Twitter designer Samantha Warren in a March 2012 List Apart

So How/When Is a Style Tile
Used?
During a Design Phase
• Useful when there is an already
established brand that needs to be
ported to a new platform
• As a tool to focus design/brand
discussions with client
© Rob Fitzgibbon 2015
The Advantages of Style Tiles
Lean Design
• Less work than making screen comps, thus
efficient and cost effective
• Pattern-centric as opposed to concept-
centric
• Easy to apply to templates
• Developer-friendly
© Rob Fitzgibbon 2015
Of Course Every Rose Has Its
Thorn
Mean Design; a Style Tile is also
• Reductionist, reducing design down to a set
of Lego pieces
• Lazy; easy to miss elements/states and leave
them undefined
• It doesn’t work with lots of content
• It’s rigid AND frigid (i.e. non-interactive)
• It’s non-narrative

Style Tile Significance?
New Design Tool for
the Ages?
UX equivalent of a coffee
stirrer?

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Prêt-à-porter (getting away from individual measurements) – factory made clothing sold in standard sizes
  2. This is from Samantha Warren
  3. Note that the “Get a Free Quote” module is the same as on lm.com
  4. What's some of the hype? Style tile propaganda talks about "have a kickoff meeting" and "start with questioning the stakeholders"  and "iterate" which is the design equivalent of "buy low, sell high" financial services advice
  5. The dirty lil’ secret: One advantages not discussed - one style tile can take the place of multiple comps, thus less work and more efficient for designer
  6. Idea that top scorers will get put up on LM.com
