๐๏ธ Day 3 Topic: UI Design Principles
๐ Today's Learning Highlights:
Concept Overview:
UI design principles guide the creation of intuitive, visually appealing, and easy-to-use interfaces. They encompass concepts such as balance, contrast, alignment, hierarchy, consistency, simplicity, feedback, accessibility, usability, and emotional design.Key Takeaways:
-
Balance: Achieve visual stability by distributing elements evenly.
- Symmetrical balance: Equal weight on both sides of a central axis.
- Asymmetrical balance: Unequal elements balanced by visual weight.
-
Contrast: Enhances readability and hierarchy by highlighting differences.
- Contrast in color, size, shape, and texture.
- Use high contrast for important elements, low contrast for secondary ones.
-
Alignment:** Create order and organization by aligning elements.
- Align based on edges or a grid system for consistency.
- Maintain alignment across different screen sizes for responsiveness.
-
Tools & Resources:
