UI Design Bootcamp. Master Typography, Colour & Grids

The most crucial aspect to form a great user experience is having a beautifully crafted user interface. Some small changes to your aesthetics can have a huge impact on the experience of your users. If you're designing using a web application, you're making decisions about typography, colour and composition that will affect the branding, style, usability and user experience of your application.

You're already making these decisions but are you aware of their impact. Very subtle use of typography and colour can have enough personality that we don't need any other visuals. We can give life to a dull block of text and it can make it easier or harder for our users to read.

Getting a few simple choices right can make or break the application. Typography is 95% of what we see on a web application, it dictates every other design decision. yet few people really stop to learn how to use typography to their advantage.

Colour is what makes us differentiate everything in a design. If there was no colour we'd not be able to identify anything on a design. But it also has the most emotional connection of anything in a design and it can't be easily categorised, as colours appear very different depending on their use and context.
