Gild Just One Lily — Smashing Magazine

The phrase of “lily guild” means Unnecessary jewelryThe idea is that keeping lily adorned with superficial decoration only works to disinforce its natural beauty. Well, I’m here to tell you that it looks like it seems Unimportant The design in the design is exactly what you need.

When your design is solid, and you have the basic principles connected to nails A The layer of decoration can help with the conversation A level of care And Attention.

First, you need lily

Let’s break the “Guild the Lily” metaphor. First, you need lily. Lily are naturally beautiful, and everyone is unique. They do not need further decoration. To play in this metaphor, assume that your design is Is already very nice. If not, you don’t have lily. Go back to working on basic principles and check again later (or read in any way).

Now when you’ve got a lily, let’s talk. To cover the “Guild” with a thin layer of gold. We’re not talking about the inner beauty of your product in the spirit of your product (that’s the matter Blush A part of the metaphor). Can send a touching message of a touch of gold foil to the surface The fall of the fall.

This gliding can come in a subtle, dynamic transfer or through a color indicator and can increase the depth of drop shadows. Before we are included in the details, let’s make sure that our metaphor does not take us too far.

GOLD A SHOULD

If we go too far with our gliding, we can interact with pleasure and more and more instead of falling indications.

Depending on the quality of the person’s mind, depending on the quality of the mind you are designed, an over the top design can be especially disturbing. For example, the pride of a shiny animation of your new AI chat feature cannot sit so well with a frustrated captain that cannot reset your password to use in the first place.

Blink on the audience (once)

Every great product design cannot be clearly beautiful as lily. Even if you have a good design, it will not be worth noting for those who enjoy the benefits of these design. Our design should not always be noticeable, but sometimes it happens Recreation To note and appreciate a great design.

If you are apples, you don’t have to worry about your design. No one thinks the Apple website’s background color is white (#FFFFFF) Because they forgot to explain one in their style sheet (though I’m so old to remember the time when the web’s default background fought fell, #CCCCCC) From the general level of dispersion and production quality on the Apple site it is so clear that the white background is deliberately Choice.

You and I are not apples. Your client (maybe) is not Apple. You do not have an army of World Class Product Photographers and Motion Designers who are working on a glass ship in Capetino. You are on a small team that is moving against budget and schedule barriers. Even despite these limits, you are managing to make excellent products.

The great design behind your product can be so well that it is hidden. The door handle is so size that you don’t feel how size it is. That button is so well that no one thinks about where it is.

When you are making the basic principles nail, it is okay to blink the audience once in a while. Not only is it fine, but it can also increase your design.

By just calling a touch of attention to your design worry, you can make it even more pleasant to experience it. However, take it an inch far away, and you are out of experience and begging to clap. Walk this line carefully.

Digital lily

A metaphor – even a gold and lille – just takes us. Let’s consider some concrete examples of gold to digital products. When the web talk comes, the following may be included to reach some Polish touch:

No black and black not white: Instead of solid black (#000000) And solid white (#FFFFFF) Color on the web, Find the subtle variations. They may look black/white at first glance, but care and customization have a subtle effect. A white background also allows you to keep pure white elements, such as form input, which stands well against the background. Be careful Protect Enough enough to ensure accessable text.

Shadows with layers and colorful indicators: Josh Kamio writes about bringing color in the shadowIncluding a Tool to help produce shadows It just feels better.

Comfortable letters: Find a comfortable line height and letter space for the font family you are using. Like a responsible type of system Utopia Can help describe spacing, which looks in different types of device size and feels comfortable.

A touch of color: When you do not want your brand color to overwhelm your design or you want a complementary color to tone another color site, consider adding a single, easy strip of solid color to the upper part of the view port. Even some pixels can add a good color splash without complicating the rest of the design. Site for a react web framework What is well and moves further with a unique yellow accent in the upper part of the site. If you are seeing their dark mood design, it is even more joke, but it still exists.

Example and photography: Finding serious and entertaining reflection for your site is much easier than ever, but no stock image can make the relevant example or image so suitable that it cannot replace it. Is necessary Only designed for this matter. In addition to a list Have presented a unique example in a permanent way for each of their subjects Decades. You do not need to be included in the gift. Your amateur scribes may be fascinated. If not, Hire a great artist.

Warned, cheap glying

The symbols of the fall are appreciated because they are somehow valuable. That is why we talk about sleeping with gold and not brass. This is why a round corner business card can feel more premium than a simple rectangle. It feels more expensive because it is.

Printing has become very cheap, though, even though premium touchs. Printing, like printing corners or smooth finish, does not value and maintain the same value before your local (budget online) print shop becomes quickly sales options.

The core letter was a great way to stand out of the pile of similar experiences and to think. Now, to stand by the wall of core letters made from AI-LLM, a completely different approach is needed that the employer wants to hear everything.

On the web, a landing page where parts of the new page end with slide and animation means that someone spent extra time on implementing it. Now, a page with too much moving feels like one million other templates capable of site makers such as Wax, Square Space, and webflows.

The customs fonts have become so simple and everywhere on the web that sticking to the system default fonts can be as strong as stylish type fosses.

Does anyone care?

Is everyone going to feel that your website has a drop -shadow indication? The number is Anyone Going to take notice? Maybe not. If you get the details right, though, people will Feel These are the levels of polish OverallHere and in the overall experience there is one percent. May not feel the color of your drop shadow, but they may be Give some confidence With a sense of care that went into the design.

Most people are not web developers or designers. They do not know the details of the implementation of CSS dynamic images and box shadow. Similarly, I’m not a car expert – it’s far from it. I value the performance and luxury in the car more reliable and cheap. Nevertheless, when I close the door on a high quality car, I can Feel Contrast

On this next project, only allow yourself to rotate one lily.
