💡 As your font size decreases, increase the line height for better, all-round legibility.

The same applies to when the font size increases. Simply decrease the line height.

💡 You don't always have to stuff your design with a multitude of colours.

If the project allows it, simply using a restricted colour palette, by choosing a Base Colour and then using Tints and Shades, can add uniformity to your designs in the simplest of ways.

💡 By using a combination of Font Sizes, Weights, and Colour, you can easily give prominence to the most important elements in your UI.

Simple adjustments to the make the user experience that little bit better.

💡 When implementing Icons in your UI, keep things consistent.

Make sure they all share the same visual style; the same weight, and either filled, or outlined.

Don’t mix and match.

💡 Make sure that 'Call to Action' is as prominent as possible, via the use of colour contrast, size, and labels.

Don't always rely on Icons alone if you can. If you can use Text Labels too, use ‘em, to enable much better user comprehension.

💡 Adding an Error Message close to the action that the user has just taken can be a simple, but helpful, extra visual aid for when they're filling out Forms of any kind.

Every little helps right?

💡 When designing a Menu to use inside of an application, make sure to give the most frequently used action (ie; Upload Image, Add File etc...) the most prominence on the screen.
