# Guías de interfaces humanas de GNOME

Whether you are a developer or a designer, these guidelines contain everything you need to design effective applications using GTK. They cover design principles for GNOME 3, common guidelines such as how to write text and use images and icons, as well as a library of design patterns which you can use in your application.

While the HIG places an emphasis on designing for GNOME 3, it can also be used to create cross-platform applications, as well as for applications that have previously followed the GNOME 2 Human Interface Guidelines. The compatibility guidelines contain more information on this.

# Core material

Patterns and user interface elements form the core of the HIG. Together, they are the building blocks for application design. If you are new to the HIG, it is recommended that you start with the page on design principles and then browse the patterns, before going on to other material.

Patróns | Essential and optional design components.
Elementos de interface de usuario | Guidelines on common elements, such as buttons, progress bars and popovers.
