Pattern Libraries and Galleries

August 06th 2008 Posted to Interface,Pattern Library,UE Design,Webdesign

Part of my current Job at Yahoo is to work on the redesign of the Pattern Library. This is a great resource for designers and web developers where interaction design patterns are illustrated that exist on the web. Looking beyond just our library there are other libraries on the web that attempt to build similar collections. It seems there are two categories of libraries emerging: Galleries and Libraries.

Galleries provide a broad overview using visual examples for patterns on the web.

Libraries go further and try to describe the interaction and suggest solutions.

In addition there are Collections that identify implementation patterns
