Scope of This Library

This library was assembled to support the design of EVE Glyph Design education materials for children, with attention to the following topics as Apple has publicly defined them:

  1. Clarity — legibility, focus, minimal adornment
  2. Deference — interface steps back for content
  3. Depth and hierarchy — layered meaning, purposeful motion
  4. Feedback — every action acknowledged, errors corrected gently
  5. Accessibility — widest audience by design
  6. Onboarding — teach by doing, not by telling
  7. Iconography — simple shapes, disciplined metaphors
  8. Callouts and leader lines — directing attention precisely
