Design Tips

1

Use a bold color system

Without depth cues, color does the heavy lifting. Choose 4-5 brand colors and apply them consistently.

2

Keep illustrations simple

Flat illustrations should use geometric shapes and limited detail. Complexity defeats the purpose.

3

Add micro-interactions

Show small animations or state changes to add life to an otherwise static-feeling style.

4

Align everything to a grid

Flat design exposes misalignment. Use strict grid alignment for a polished result.
