Design principles

These principles underlie the way we ‘do design’ at nib. They encourage us to continue striving to produce elegant products and solutions that best balance the needs of our end users with our business goals.

Accessibility

Accessibility enables people with physical and cognitive disabilities, situational disabilities and technology limitations to perceive and interact with the digital experiences we create.

Foundations

Our Foundations library covers nib’s use of color, typography, imagery, iconography, layout and spacing, to ensure consistency across our digital products and services.
