Hello, Habr! Recently, we held the first design meeting in Avito. We want to share materials with you. We discussed typography, web design, industrial design, and component design.

Come under the cat if you are interested in these topics. Inside the post there are video recordings of reports, presentations of speakers, guest reviews of the mitap and links to the photo report.

Remove excess colors on the site and start living. Alexander Katin, Avito

Listener reviews

• Actual problem for large projects, an interesting solution at the development level. It is a pity that it is not disclosed how to defeat this at the level of the design department.
• Interesting presentation. It is always great to learn information from real projects!

Transport and industrial design, designers, constructors and factories. Maxim Kuzin, Korolev Dynamics and OKB ATOM

A report on how designers and constructors work, creating new equipment and objects, as well as what happens and what happens next - at the factory.

Listener reviews

• The report is very interesting and exciting. As a digital designer, I’m very interested to hear about related fields and learn more. Unfortunately, the audience was not given the opportunity to ask questions (there were a lot of them).

A productive dialogue between font and graphic designers. Lisa Rasskazova, Contrast Foundry

Lisa Rasskazova shared the approach that they use when creating new fonts. A font is not just a graphic, but also a tool. He is tested in real projects, taught how to use it, and told about all the possibilities of typography. Such communication allows them to create long-playing projects in return for fastfood production.

Listener reviews

• Informative and professional.

A component approach to application design. Alexander Artsvuni, Farfetch

The report included the technical part on the implementation of the design system in a large team in practice, as well as its impact on business metrics.

→ Presentation

Listener reviews

• The most useful lecture in terms of putting what you have heard into practice for an interface designer. I liked the presentation of the material and a demonstration of the methods of using components in the code in practice.
