  12. Use visual hierarchy

  13. Design your interface in a way that allows the user to focus on what is most important. • The size, color, and placement of each element work together, creating a clear path to understanding your interface. • A clear hierarchy will go great lengths in reducing the appearance of complexity (even when the actions themselves are complex).

  14. Providing feedback

  15. Providing feedback • Your interface should at all times speak to your user, when his/her actions are both right and wrong or misunderstood. Always inform your users of actions, changes in state and errors, or exceptions that occur. Visual cues or simple messaging can show the user whether his or her actions have led to the expected result.
