Core idea
Layout is not neatness; layout is judgment
- A layout can look clean and still hide the decision.
- A layout can look busy and still support expert work.
- The question is: does the visual order match the user task?
Neat but weak
Everything aligns, but the important information is buried.
- Looks tidy
- Weak priority
- Slow decision
Structured and useful
The screen uses size, grouping, and spacing to reveal what matters.
- Clear first read
- Useful grouping
- Visible next step
