6 simple rules for interface awesomeness

1. Reduce the amount of features

You should have listened to Mr. Rams when he said 'weniger aber besser'.


2. Give elements more space

Double the margins and paddings of everything. OK, now do it again.


3. Make choices for the user

So your users will have less decisions to make.


4. Increase font-size and line-height

People hate reading on screens, make it as easy as possible.


5. Make all layer effects 87% more subtle

Some even say no-gradient is the new gradient...


6. Put in the f*cking time

Good design takes time. #truestory

no-gradient
