I think I’m starting to get a better sense of good UI design after working on this. There are subtle things I didn’t understand which I feel I have a handle on now.
Corners can feel curated
My previous design didn’t have any rounded corners, and all of my videos and images were just plopped on the page. Now I have added rounded edges to videos and images, as well as a small border, that make the assets feel curated and have intentionality with them being placed there.
Color brings feelings
My previous design was a lot of blacks and whites; having a subtle cream color evokes emotions that black and white do not create. The color can be anything, but I feel it helps set the undertone for the entire page.
Shadows on header text
This one I didn’t think of before- adding small shadows to header text gives the text a very almost unnoticeable space to the page that calls your attention to it. I never considered shadows but I’m happy I have them now.
Images can define the space
The images I have now on the header and footer, to me, make me feel like it’s more than just an informational webpage, but is part of a shared experience to people who view it. Image selection, and also placement can elevate and make a good design, even better.
Interact-able elements feel polished
I had a FAQ that was raw text, and while that worked, making it collapsible feels like thought was put into it and presentation wise I like it a lot better.
Are there other design tips you can impart to me, or do you think my design improved from my last version?
