User Interface Design
User interface design is hard. With so many options to choose from regarding layout, spacing, typography, and colour, making design decisions can be overwhelming. When you add usability, accessibility, and psychology to the mix, it gets even harder.
Luckily, UI design doesnt have to be so hard. Over nearly 2 decades working as a product designer, Ive realised that most of my visual and interaction design decisions are governed by a system of logical guidelines. Not artistic flair or magical intuition, just simple guidelines.
Sure, artistic talent helps, but a lot of what makes up an intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interface design can be learned. Having a system of logical UI design guidelines helps you efficiently make informed design decisions. Without a logical system, youre just using gut feeling to move stuff around until it looks pretty.
