How to manage a large control library? (VisualDesign)

So far, I am the keeper of the master Photoshop prototyping template
that contains all our widgets on different layers in the psd. We are a
small team though. I have used just simple version control to monitor
the progress of the prototyping template: "template v3.4.psd". As time
permits, I make updates to the template that includes visual
representations of coded widgets we have used, and variations of
existing widgets.

We are in the middle of creating a "resource site" for us UI designers,
to better manage the different versions of our widgets we use.

You will use your IA disciplines including UI Design, Usability and Strategy to create novel user experiences. A specific understanding of how UI designs interact with backend data is also important, as you will be responsible for authoring documentation that serves as the blueprint for design and project development.

How to manage a large control library? (Visual Design)

Hi All,

I work as a Visual Designer for a large software firm. We have a rather
bloated library of controls to manage. (Buttons, Table, Input fields,
Progress trackers, Toolbars, Tree etc etc) and no clear system in place.

We need to view and often design these controls alongside each other so
to maintain visual consistency (so we have a master control sheet of all
of these in a PSD)
, yet we also have various versions of each control that continues to
evolve and go through a series of iterations and changes single psds).

Hiding behind a click

Dear All,

A lot of new interfaces (like GMAIL) have started hiding (for the lack of
better word) functionality behind additional clicks. Like one has to click
"CC" and "BCC" for these field to come up. Similarly fiter optiosn on the
top and so on..

Is anyone aware of any research done on this behavior v/s showing everything
upfront and in what scenario what works better.

Best Regards
Alok Jain

Use of 3-D

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good review of the pros and cons of using 3-d displays? In the case under consideration, the display will represent actual objects in the real world. The client prefers a 3D representation for it's "coolness" (which can have value for marketing); I tend to be skeptical of adding a simulated 3rd dimension unless it provides additional and useful information.

Thanks

Best regards,

Steve
