💡 Colour-Pick from your images, and bring your products to life.

Simply colour-picking from your product images, and then applying various tints & shades of your chosen colour to your background, text, or icons, can add plenty of visual interest, and character to your designs.
💡 When designing for Mobile try to create Tappable Areas large enough for fingers to, well, tap successfully.

Things can be challenging for Buttons, and Links that consist only of Text so try to go for an Icon with a Label whenever possible.
💡 Applying a slightly opaque darkened background behind your text will keep a good contrast ratio between those elements.

It also allows you to easily switch between dark, and light images without the hassle of changing the text colour.
💡 For the user, try to make your Download Indicators as informative, and user-friendly as possible.

You can achieve this via the use of colour, a percentage figure to show current progress, and a simple icon giving them the ability to cancel the download at any time.
