I am super glad to have such an amazing response over the Part-1 of Do’s and Don’t for UI Design. As promised I am back with another set of 7 new tips that will help you create amazing and professional UI designs.

🤩Happy Reading!

1. Color Psychology:

Colors are an integral part of UI design. They evoke emotions that connect the user to a website or mobile application. Using colors wisely makes the UI look more rich and rational.

2. Maintaining momentum with single column rule

Using single column for showcasing content, helps easy scanning. While putting bulk information on your app or website put information vertically aligned to preserve good momentum.

3. Social Media First

While try to make a user login/signup to your platform, put all the social media login first. This will avoid extra cognitive load and time consumption in filling out the form. Using social media first, increases the CTR.

4. Selection and Navigation

There should be clear depiction of the selected content or any tab on navigation bar. Ambiguity with colors while selection increases cognitive load. Minimal use of color with clear action makes UI and UX feel good to the user.

5. Break with S P A C E

To add break between information, using space is the best way to it. Adding line as a breakpoint adds an extra element on the screen. Spaces make UI look more airy and clean.

Lines as a break is suitable for the scenarios like Twitter, Medium — The content heavy platform.

6. Consistency

Being consistent with designs, reduces complexity and increase quick decision. Consistency makes user familiar with the patterns.

7. Search input

Adding proper placeholder at the search input bar, give hint the user about what can be searched and found at the platform. Doing this increase the user engagement and good experience.

So guys these are the 7 basic Do’s and Don’t that one should follow along while designing experience on digital products. Hope this help you to understand the fundamentals of UI designs!
