If you use colour in your interface, add a little bit of that colour to your neutrals. If you use the HSB colour system less than 5% saturation should do it.) * Use high contrast for important elements * Optical alignment is often better than mathematical alignment [i.e., use visual weight when centering, not just absolute width/2] * Lower letter spacing and line height with larger text. Raise them with smaller text * Everything should be aligned with something else * Colours in a palette should have distinct brightness values. When colours have different brightness values, this helps them look and feel distinctive not just in hue, but in brightness. This leads to better colour palettes because colours don’t compete with each other as much. * If you saturate your neutrals you should use warm or cool colours, not both * Measurements should be mathematically related. (The spacing you use between elements, and the size of elements, should be determined by some kind of scale. This will help the design to look coherent. In the example below, every element uses multiples of 8.) * Elements should go in order of visual weight. (If you have a series of elements in a row or column, and some are more visually heavy than others (two buttons and three links, for example), you should arrange them like a triangle. The visually heaviest element should go first, and the least heavy element last, in order.) * If you use a horizontal grid, use 12 columns * Spacing should go between points of high contrast (When you’re measuring out space between elements in a design—for example if you want 100px of vertical space between blocks of content on a landing page—the spacing should be from one point of high contrast to the next.) * Closer elements should be lighter (As elements on the screen get closer to the user, they should get lighter.) * Make drop shadow blur values double their distance values (e.g. If you create a shadow which extends 4 pixels on the Y axis, use a blur value of 8 pixels.) * Put simple on complex or complex on simple (A complex background (e.g. a colourful gradient fill) works best if the foreground (e.g. text) is simple. And a complex foreground element is best on a simple background.) * Keep container colours within brightness limits (The brightness difference between background and container should be within 12% for dark interfaces, and 7% for light interfaces. These percentages refer to the brightness value in the HSB colour system.) * Make outer padding the same or more than inner padding (In containers, inner padding is the space between elements inside the container. Outer padding is the space between the elements and the edges of the container. This outer padding should be the same or more than the inner padding. Elements that are more related should be closer together. The elements inside a container are more related to each other than they are to the container itself.) * Keep body text at 16px or above * Use a line length around 70 characters * Make horizontal padding twice the vertical padding in buttons * Use two typefaces at most * Nest corners properly (Sometimes you will have two or more rounded corners nested together. If you want them to look right, set the inside corner radius to the outside corner radius, minus the distance between the two. In the example below the outside radius is 30px, and there is a 20px gap, so the inside corner radius is 10px.) * Don’t put two hard divides next to each other (Background transitions, container edges, and dividing lines will create hard visual divides. You should not have two or more hard divides next to each other.)
