Design tidbits from Paul Stamatiou:
- Add just enough effects to make it perceivable. ie. Don’t overdo it.
- “Whenever I see a website I like, or even just a particular element of a site, I take a screenshot and archive it”
- “Process of redesigning a product Get in the mindset of the target audience
- A few quick layout sketches…or straight to HTML/CSS
- Sketch 2 or 3 simple layout variants
- Start with grayscale then tinker with color after I have the visual hierarchy down
- Color adjustments and typography tweaks
- Mentally prepare a sort of style guide”
