This shows the main components of a design system in Figma, their purpose, and where their files are stored.

Formula

Component,Description,File Path
Colors,Primary and secondary color palettes,/design-system/colors.fig
Typography,Font styles and sizes,/design-system/typography.fig
Buttons,Button styles and states,/design-system/components/buttons.fig
Icons,Icon library and usage,/design-system/components/icons.fig
Layouts,Grid and spacing rules,/design-system/layouts.fig

Key Result

A design system file structure in Figma organizes components like colors, typography, buttons, icons, layouts, and documentation into separate files for clarity and easy maintenance.

Transcript

We have a design system file structure that includes key components such as Colors, Typography, Buttons, Icons, Layouts, and Documentation. Each component has a description explaining its purpose and a file path showing where it is stored in the Figma project. This structure helps teams find and update design elements efficiently.
