    6:18 - General Design Tips

    • Spacing is important

    • Using patterns and textures

    • Use subtle gradients

    • Use subtle drop shadows

      • Multiple shadows on one element can have a nice effect
    • Don’t use true black and white (e.g. #000 or #fff) - use softer variation of black and white

      • Use CSS Variables for custom blacks and whites
      • CSS default colors are almost always too harsh
    • Default browser UI is almost never the best UI

      • Select elements, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc. can all be styled - it’s no fun, but way better than it’s ever been
