Optical alignment is often better than mathematical alignment
Don’t use pure black or white, only near-black and near-white
Colours in a palette should have distinct brightness values
Use two typefaces at most
Make horizontal padding twice the vertical padding in buttons
Keep body text at 16px or above
Saturate your neutrals A neutral is generally a black, white, or grey. If you use colour in your interface, add a little bit of that colour to your neutrals. This will make the colour palette feel more coherent. If you use the HSB colour system less than 5% saturation should do it.
For example, some odd shapes have a visual centre that is different from their mathematical centre. Often you will need to align things by eye so that it looks right.
Make drop shadow blur values double their distance values
Saturate your neutrals
Use high contrast for important elements
Everything in your design should be deliberate
Container borders should contrast with both the container and the background
Everything should be aligned with something else
If you saturate your neutrals you should use warm or cool colours, not both
Measurements should be mathematically related
Elements should go in order of visual weight
Use a 12 column grid
Use a line length around 70 characters
Make outer padding the same or more than inner padding
