Core idea
Visual design is not decoration
- Visual design is not separate from usability.
- A weak visual system can make a good product idea feel confusing.
- A beautiful screen can still fail if hierarchy, contrast, or spacing is wrong.
Style-only
The screen looks pleasant, but priority, reading order, and state are unclear.
- Pretty surface
- Weak hierarchy
- Unclear action
Design fundamentals
The visual choices help the user scan, understand, decide, and act.
- Readable type
- Useful color
- Clear spacing
