Note: Each designer develops unique habits for efficient alignment. It's important to adopt a technique that resonates with your style. Tools such as the Ruler (Shift + R) and Layout Grid are also helpful for alignment. The layout grid function is briefly discussed in the Design System episode. Remember, if you choose to use a Layout Grid, it's not necessary to align every element to it.
Key Takeaways:
- Alignment is essential for trust-building during the high-fidelity design phase of a digital product.
- Use the top right panels in Figma for perfect alignment.
- Screen margin, the space around a screen's edge, usually ranges from 16 to 24 pixels.
- Not sure about spacing? Stick to a scale of 4 or 8 for padding or coordinates.
- Gestalt principles are about how we see patterns and structure in designs. They include:
- Similarity: Objects that look similar are perceived as related.
- Continuity: Our eyes follow lines and curves, linking elements smoothly.
- Closure: We fill in gaps to see complete figures.
- Proximity: Things close together seem grouped.
- Figure-Ground: We separate objects from their background.
