Mar 8 - Lecture Notes: The Purpose of UI Design Techniques(UI Design)

Written By Kate Rushton

95% of the finished UI design is layout, colour and typography; the other 5% is the “polish”: the depth, gradients and flourishes.

In the Triangles “lunch and learn”, I learnt about the 13 purposes for UI design:

  1. Add visual interest

  2. Improve visibility

  3. Separate content

  4. Connect content

  5. Guide attention

  6. Reinforce visual hierarchy

  7. Reinforce layout

  8. Reinforce a brand

  9. Reinforce a theme

  10. Soften the interference

  11. Signify affordance

  12. Signify state

  13. Simulate reality
