Just quick and actionable guidelines with examples and a logical rationale to help back up your design decisions.
Don't just move stuff around until it looks pretty
User interface design is hard. Having endless design possibilities sounds great in theory, but in practice, it can be frustrating and time consuming.
With so many options to choose from regarding layout, spacing, typography, and colour, making design decisions can be overwhelming. When you add usability, accessibility, and psychology to the mix, it gets even harder.
Luckily, UI design doesn’t have to be so hard. Over the years, I’ve realised that most of my visual and interaction design decisions are governed by a system of logical rules. Not artistic flair or magical intuition, just simple rules.
Sure, artistic talent helps, but a lot of what makes up an intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interface design can be learned. Having a system of logical rules helps you efficiently make informed design decisions. Without a logical system, you’re just using gut feeling to move stuff around until it looks pretty.
I love rules and logic, but design decisions are rarely black and white. Rather than strict rules that you must follow, think of the advice in this book as helpful guidelines that work well in most cases.
I wish I’d known these guidelines when I first started out. They’re a culmination of nearly 2 decades working as a product designer on products used by millions of people. My hope is that they’ll help you gain years of experience in a matter of hours.
Für wen ist dieses Workbook?
Beginner or intermediate designers, developers, user researchers, or product managers looking to design informed and professional website and mobile applications.
"I’ve been following Adham for years, he’s always been a big inspiration. His book is clear, concise, and packed full of visual and interaction design tips.”
"As an engineer, I found the book to be really hands-on and easy to follow. Breaking down interface design into logical rules is genius."
"Such a useful and practical book by one of the best in the game. Love this logic-driven approach to UI design. Surprisingly powerful."
No vague, impractical theory. Just quick, actionable advice.
Rather than comprehensively detailing countless chapters of tedious, high-level design theory, I’ve created 8 concise chapters of the most important things you need to know about interface design, usability, and accessibility.
1. Fundamentals
Overarching UI design principles that form the foundation of the guidelines
2. Less is more
Practical techniques to simplify interfaces by removing unnecessary details
3. Colour

5. Typography

6. Copywriting
Practical guidelines on how to write interface text that clearly communicates with people
7. Forms

Who is this UI design book for?
This book is best suited to those in the product design and development space with an interest in improving their UI design skills. You might know some of the basics, and may have dabbled in design, but still struggle to design an informed and professional interface.
While the book wasn’t created for experienced designers, some may find it useful. Especially if you design based on gut feeling and can’t explain why.
The book is best suited to:
- Beginner/intermediate designers looking to quickly improve their UI designs.
- User researchers who want to start designing interfaces.
- Developers who no longer want to rely on a designer.
- Product managers who want to better understand their products.
Does this book cover UI design for apps or websites?
There are lots of different types of digital interfaces. This UI design book mostly focuses on web and mobile applications.
That being said, the design guidelines are universal and also apply to marketing websites, e-commerce websites, software applications, and more.
Is UX design covered too?
The focus of this book is user interface (UI) design, which is made up of visual and interaction design. UI design is a large part of user experience (UX) design.
You’ll learn how to design the interface that people interact with when they use a digital product. The actual pixels on a screen that make up a website or app. What it looks like, how it works, and why it works that way.
User research is another key part of UX design, but isn’t covered in this book.
Will I learn how to use Figma or write code?
No, you won’t learn how to use design tools, like Figma or Sketch. You also won’t learn how to write code or develop websites and apps. You’ll learn universal and timeless guidelines that will help you design better interfaces, regardless of the tools you use.
Is there a printed version of the book?
No. The book only comes in digital PDF format for now. If you’re interested in a printed book, subscribe to be notified if one becomes available.
I’d recommend getting the digital PDF either way, as there are lots of detailed visual design examples in the book. A digital version allows you to zoom in to see the detail.
If a printed option becomes available, I’ll make sure that those who already have the digital version can also get a physical copy for a cheaper price.
Why a book and not a video course?
- Low price: Video courses on UI design can cost thousands of dollars, making them inaccessible to many. A book format is a fraction of the price.
- Faster to learn: Video courses can take a long time to get through. I designed this book with efficiency in mind. It’s quick to scan with lots of visual examples.
- Quick reference: A book format makes it quicker and easier for you to refer back to the design guidelines regularly.

Please purchase a team licence if the book will be read by more than 1 person.
