7 UX Design principles you should know

User Experience is how users interact with your product and how satisfied they are with the experience. Better the UX Design, More customers will you acquire. Over the years, we've come across many different principles, that have often played a key role in the way we interpret design✨🀌. Here are some design principles to create effective and enjoyable digital experiences:-

1. βœ… Simplicity

Simplicity is key to good UX design. Users should be able to navigate your product easily and quickly. Avoid cluttered designs, confusing layouts and unnecessary features and Keep it Simple!

2. βš–οΈ Law of Proximity

Objects that are near, or proximate to each other, tend to be grouped together. This proximity helps to establish relationships with the nearby objects. Elements in close proximity share similar traits, whereas elements far away, have different purposes.

3. πŸƒπŸΌ Goal Gradient Effect

This effect is based upon the idea, that more the user is to completing a task, the faster they is to completing it. This will provide a clear indication about the progress and help users strive towards its completion.

4. πŸ‘¬πŸΌ Law of Common Region

Elements that are put into groups of the same region, tend to share the same properties and traits. It gives a clear understanding to users regarding the structure and the relationship between each element.

5. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ Usability Effect

A Simple aesthetic design showcases the usability of the design. More simple aesthetic the design looks, more usable it is.

6. πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Von Restorff Effect

When multiple similar objects are grouped together, the most different or "isolated" one is the one the user most likely to choose.

7. πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ Tesler's Law

The law states that for any system, a certain amount of complexity cannot be reduced. The complexity should be assumed by either the user or the system.

The above listed design principles are the ones that you should keep in mind, as you create interactive designs meant for fulfilling their own unique tasks.
