How I Improved My Ui Designs Patr 2

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I shared a new post - I've been working on many different projects lately. I've been writing my eBook, managing client work and some other stuff.

Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to share some more tips on how to make your designs better. I hope they will be helpful!

1. I started using 17pt font size for forms and body

 I used to use like 13 or 15pt for form inputs, but 17pt works a whole lot better. Not even from the UI side, but mostly the UX. 

2. I started paying attention to empty states

I bought a pack of awesome empty state illustrations, and now it's a joy to design them. Sadly, it's often overlooked. 

3. Also, I invested money in some awesome assets

I bought a subscription at ui8.net. Now I never lack fantastic icons, illustrations or mockups! It's really worth it. 

4. I focused on adding some depth to my work

Adding some shadows and overlapping elements can easily add depth to your designs, and it looks really good. 

5. I got (pretty) good at spacing elements

I practiced using soft grids and studied the rules of hierarchy to improve the way I space elements. It's really important! 

6. I stopped judging my work based on Dribbble

I don't expect that my "real" work will beat stuff that's trending on Dribbble. The aesthetics of an interface is not the most important aspect of a good design.
