😓 UI design is hard, but it doesn't have to be 🥳 A lot of what makes up an intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interface design can be learned. Let’s quickly redesign an example interface using 16 logical design tips 👇
⚡️ UI design tip - Use a typeface with taller lowercase letters The height of lowercase letters in a typeface is known as the x-height. Typefaces with a taller x-height and greater letter spacing are generally easier to read. 👇
❖ Component interactive states in my @PracticalUI Figma design system. • Default • Hover • Press • Focus • Disabled #ux #designsystem
⚡️ UI design tip - Ensure interface elements have a 3:1 contrast ratio Star ratings, like the following example, often lack sufficient contrast. Simply adding a darker border gives them sufficient 3:1 contrast, which means more people will be able to see the rating 🙌 #ux #a11y
⚡️ UI design tip: Ensure similar looking elements function similarly In this example, the “verified” badges look similar to the primary “follow all” button. They’re not interactive elements, so they should look different to the primary button to help avoid confusion. Thoughts?
🙅♂️ Avoid form placeholder text 1. It disappears on focus so you forget what the field is for. 2. It can look like the field is filled. 3. Low contrast / inaccessible. Display label and hint above inputs so they're always visible and aren't covered by autocomplete menus.
UI design isn't magic ✨ Over nearly 2 decades working as a product designer, I’ve realised that most of my UI design decisions are governed by a system of logical guidelines. Here's a quick example of some logic-driven design guidelines in action 👇
⚡️ UI design tip: Ensure spacing looks balanced for buttons with icons Handy little Figma button trick I learned from Jordan Amblin 👇 ✅ Wrap the label in an auto layout frame with 4px padding. ✅ Apply 12px padding to the button. ✅ Apply a boolean to the icon.
🎨 UI design tip: Name colours based on how they're used Here's my simple but powerful token naming structure to keep colours organised 👇 [element.tone.emphasis.state] This is just 1 of 100+ guidelines from my @PracticalUI design book. Get 40% off this Black Friday week 🙌
