DO NOT list; UX/UI:
Working on web design:
- Do not forget about alignments of the elements on a page; use grid system
- Do not make many focal points (it should be only one)
- Do not forget about visual hierarchy
- Do not make your design busy, without white space
- Do not use clipart under any circumstances
- Do not distort/stretch images
- Do not use low resolution images, unless they are for web
- Do not use too many colors
- Do not use crazy gradients
- Do not put complimentary colors with the same intensity together, especially green and red
- Do not put an image on a background of a similar value unless you have a reason to do it
- Do not break any of the graphic design rules, unless you have several years of experience and know them perfectly
- Do not assume that your design is good until you have a solid experience, always ask an opinion and an advice of a professional.
UX/UI, User friendly website
User friendly website has an interface that is easy to navigate, usable and accessible, looks good, etc.
The main features:
-
Consistency - making design coherent between pages and on the same page.: heading sizes, font choices, coloring, button styles, spacing, design elements, illustration styles, photo choices, etc.
-
Precedence - guiding the eye (visual hierarchy)
-
Navigation - being able to figure out where to go or where you are; should be on the same place on each page.
-
Usability - think about user tasks: certain things people need, expect and find without confusion,
-
Design itself - alignment, clarity and white space, typography, etc. (read DO NOT list at the left)
