Want to get involved? See the handbook and optionally drop into #design to chat. Most active design work happens in the block editor project, consider dropping into Needs design or Needs design feedback.
There’s a WordPress Component Library in Figma. Duplicate to edit, direct access is reserved for the design team.
At WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Tokyo 2019 we followed last year’s exercise from WCUS and ran a Keep / Burn / Add workshop interactive activity. The idea is to explore from a high-level perspective where WordPress is going for that part of the community and how it could be improved.
Note: these are individual opinions, and as such, it should be considered as first-level research to be read and interpreted, not as an absolute list.
Thanks to @miekoyo for writing this recap.

Design Table. What’s your perspective?
During WCEU the design team had a great showing of people wanting to contribute. As discussed before the event, our plan was to split into a team
A table was formed for ‘other’ tasks, these included working on triage for TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. and ‘BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. directory usability testing’. A test was written and also tickets triaged ready for 5.3, with a focus on a11yAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) tickets for media. Some great conversations were had and collaborating between other teams flowed.
One of the two dedicated focus tables was about Figma and lead by @tinkerbelly. Here is a brief recap of what happened:
The second focused table was lead by @mapk and involved a dive into Gutenberg design. There was a great discussion around the future of Gutenberg and how it’s changing WordPress in a good way. The designers were encouraged to comment on at least one issue in GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/. A couple of people also worked on mockups. Issues commented on include:

At WCUS contributors to the design team got together for a short interactive session of things within WordPress they wanted to keep, set on fire or add. Some interesting points came up so worth taking out of the workshop setting and writing up for everyone.
Note: these are not one opinion, they are the thoughts of everyone at the workshop.
So, what would you keep, set on fire or add?
Last weekend at WCUS the design team ran a workshop based session. The focus was around blocks. @joshuawold was co-lead with myself leading and @melchoyce, @kjellr, @lessbloat also took groups to work with.
The day was loosely planned out as:
During the day everyone’s work was put into various InVision boards and Figma:
You can also follow along the Slack archive of the day as lots of great discussion took place.
@joshuawold has a post coming up about the navigation block work done and there will also be one on the ‘Keep, set on Fire and Add’ session.
As previously discussed in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. #design, @folletto and myself worked on a contribution day format suggestion. This was tested at WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Tokyo and from there a document was created to iterate based on feedback.
There is now a new handbook page, this is just a suggestion but has a guide to help you facilitate a successful contribution day for design.
