Principles -

- Symmetry
- Consistency
- Focus (primary action, secondary action), limit choices
- Steady theme or style
- Color theory, light borders etc., controlled use of contrast
- Iconography, Images
- Indication of status
- Ease of use in functionality
- Making use of industry trends/standards i.e. learned user behaviors (from Google, Linked in etc.)
- Showing error states
- Guiding the user - explicitly or implicitly (Affordances) to avoid errors in the first place
- Provide information relevant to context
- Simplicity - Number of action areas, number of options displayed at a time
- Minimizing redundancy in functionality (not having multiple copies of the same thing)
- High readability - Fonts, Typography
- Gestalt perception
