Joining the ranks of any profession is the same as committing yourself to learning an entirely new language, most of which is frankly gibberish. Design is no exception. So we collected the top design firms—including Pentagram, Ammunition, Huge, Ziba, Pensole, Google Ventures, Sagmeister & Walsh, and more—their favorite examples of design slang and jargon. The collections range from serious to tongue-in-cheek, but if youve ever been puzzled by a designer telling you he needed to "ideate a more approachable FTUX" or "add more value to that horsey megamenu," this resource should help you translate. To help you to learn, we also have flashcard for easy remember and self scoring to see how well you are at design slang now.
Besides, we also collected interesting facts and information that the designers would need to know into the forms of cheatsheets, as well as video lesson for important information from design insiders, so that you may grasp the essentials of the business in the most straightforward and comprehensive way.
