Mixing geometric and organic elements

Balancing geometric and organic elements in interfaces can help soften the contrast between each one.

This can be applied to typografphy, buttons, illustrations, pictures and every other thing that shows up on screen.

Groups blocks with the same size

When the layout is not coming together, it’s better to group elements with the same size - like a sidebar - and fit them into a block.

With that done af ew times, you can redistribute whatever’s left and doesn’t seem to fit this block structure or need to stand out more.

Start with an interaction model

You need to have a interaction model before started designing the UI. Without this, it’s impossible to know where to proceed to. Once you have that, it’s easier to see whether the elements on the screen fit that model.

Sure, it’s possible (or even likely) to change the model after starting, but it’s fundamental to start with one.
