Axis, Principles in Action
The Axis Design System supports over 90% of Anaplan, touching nearly all areas of the business and applying our experience language throughout the Anaplan product. To provide a consistent and delightful user experience, our design system is rooted in five principles:
- Clarity
- Inclusivity
- Consistency
- Intuition
- Inspirational
All design and code that make up our system are assessed against our principles. Let’s dive deeper into how Axis puts them into action.
Clarity
Our product solves complex problems, and our UI supports that.
Inclusivity
Our design language is a representation of our culture; we create experiences that are accessible to all users and we learn from our diverse set of consumers.
Consistency
Uniformity across design ensures that consumers can rely on intuition and mental models developed from using our components.
Intuition
We design for an intuitive experience, rooted in user research and competitor analysis. We solve for real-world problems, using recognized and intuitive design solutions.
Inspirational
Axis serves as a place for designers to collaborate and road-test new creative ideas and thinking.
