my notes ( ? )
- Offer few choices, at least on the first level of the UI hierarchy.
- Keep a fair amount of empty spaces.
- Avoid having many borderlines (whether they are strokes or edges between shapes of different fill colors).
- Invest time in information architecture. Evaluate the significance of each piece of info you design.
- Keep your color palettes poor. If you need an extra color, prefer to introduce a new shade/tint of an existing color over a completely new hue.
- Try to reduce text. Use tooltips for extra info instead of exposing it by default.
- avoid providing alternative paths/flows for the same action. Different paths imply different actions.
