This page displays take away information I have saved from articles read focused on design systems and namespaces methods. I use this as a reference point for research in the design systems and namespaces category.
Take Away:
Design System:
the complete set of design standards, documentation, and principles along with the toolkit (UI patterns and code components) to achieve those standards.
Pattern Library:
A subclass in the design system, this is the set of design patterns for use across a company.
Style guide:
Another subclass in the design system, this static documentation describes the design system itself: how products should look and feel, use cases for UI patterns, correct typographic scales, etc.
Bottom line:
A pattern library (e.g. set of symbols and assets in Sketch) and style guide are only parts of the much more robust design system.
