Design BASICS

Design Principles

1. PROXIMITY

Content placed closer to each other to indicate it's connected or associated. It becomes one visual unit and makes a clear structure of the layout.

2. ALIGNMENT

In a well-integrated design, the contents are grouped, organized and aligned to create a balance and order.

3. CONTRAST

Every information/content in a design should stand apart from one another but should look connected. Be it the text, color, elements, size, tone etc.

4. WHITE SPACE

It is like giving visual breathing room to the eye. Giving balanced spaced between the content increases readability & helps in highlighting importance.

KEEP IN MIND

  • Know your target user. Choose colors, fonts and every design element accordingly.
  • Keep app behaviours familiar to the user.
  • Keep the design simple and aesthetically (beauty) pleasing.
  • Keep the interfaces consistent throughout.
  • Listen to others as every person has different usage approach which might become valuable feedback.
