Patterns of Design

discovering the best in iOS app design

Some background

Patterns of Design is an online gallery for discovering the best in iOS app design.

With the notable exception of games, most apps are designed around a few basic patterns. By themselves, the patterns are nothing extraordinary, but in the hands of a good designer they can become original and transformative. How so? A pattern is a design solution that is used over and over, in multiple situations. It can be a carousel, a dial or a grid. The designer’s job is to add their own twist to the patterns, to make them eye-catching, attractive and easy to use. In a word, the best. We think the best deserves attention and have created this site to do just that: bring you the best.

Patterns of Design is the work of Will Simons, a freelance digital and UX designer.

The site was built by my good friends at Horde Software.
