“The Art of Deception”
Use fewer props: Only include what’s absolutely necessary—ditch the rest.
Take advantage of memory: Consistently deploy design elements to avoid negative surprises.
Visually clarify your props: Be clear about what everything does.
Make the hidden visible: If something (like navigation) needs to be there, put it there.
Eliminate time lags: Design with performance in mind.
Eliminate interruptions: Any diversion between point A and point B is one diversion too many.
Make procedures clear and flexible: Help users get stuff done, but don’t be too prescriptive about it.
