The universe is made up of a fixed set of ‘atomic elements’. These elements are the building blocks of everything around us.
This understanding of how smaller elements, or atoms, can be combined together to create larger objects, or molecules, parallels well with the design world, and the many elements we use to construct our designs. Following the atomic design principles provides us a structure for building our design systems and pattern libraries.
The elements of Atomic Design:
Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, Templates, Pagest
