Call for Videos! Celebrate World Design Systems Week with us!

Come celebrate the first World Design Systems Week with us! We’re creating a kick-off montage video featuring design system makers across the world. This is where you come in!

We’d love you to submit a video recording answering ANY of the following questions.

• How do you build bridges (with your design system, teammates, community, etc.)?
• Describe what a design system is
• What’s an indicator of a strong design system?
• Share a design system best practice!
• What excites you about design systems?
• What are common design system pitfalls?
• What’s your favorite design system and why?
• What’s an analogy for a design system and its value?
• What is your best advice for building a good design system?
• What’s your advice for design system adoption?
• What is your favorite feature/thing about zeroheight?
• What’s your creative outlet?
• Any guesses as to why zeroheight is called zeroheight?

We’ll edit all the questions and answers together and present the video during World Design Systems Week!

Tips on shooting

General

• You can use your phone or record yourself on a Zoom call
• If you answer more than one question, you can submit one long file or one file for each question. The latter is probably easier for you and our editor!
• Try to frame the interviewee so the shot includes a little bit above their head and below their shoulders
• Limit background noise as much as is possible
• Keep answers short!! and safe for work
• Don’t stress and have fun!

If you are doing selfie-style (i.e., not interviewed on a call)

• Ensure your device is in landscape
• Read the question, pause then answer – or incorporate the question in your answer
• Leave gaps between questions

If interviewing

• Ensure there are gaps between people talking to make it easier to cut together
• Mute yourself when the interviewee is speaking
• If an answer could be better or they say something that could be expanded upon, don’t be afraid to do the same question again
