What's up everyone, it's Arash here
2
and in this episode I'm going to show you how to avoid making five UI design mistakes
3
that will turn your design from this into this.
4
So let's begin.
5
Mistake number one, overusing shadows.
6
I know it's tempting to use different effects to make your design pop, but overusing shadows can really hurt your design.
7
Let's take a look at this example.
8
Here as you can see, many of our elements have shadows like this text layer, which makes it less readable.
9
Please, please never ever use shadows for your text.
10
So if I unhide the improved version, you can see that our design can now breathe
11
and only our cards have some drop shadows to help them elevate a little bit.
12
Mistake number two, unrealistic shadow colors.
13
There is a misconception about the color of shadows and it's that many people think all shadows are dark gray, which is not true technically.
14
So here as you can see all our shadows are dark gray and it doesn't look realistic at all.
15
So to improve this design we can instead use the element's main color with a decreased opacity as our shadow's color.
16
Mistake number three, low contrast.
17
Often I see designers put a text layer on an image
18
that is barely readable because of having a low contrast ratio between the foreground and background, and they don't know how to fix this issue.
19
Well, here is a very easy solution to this.
20
You can simply darken the background to make your text more readable.
21
Let's take this card for example.
22
As you can see, the text is not easily readable, and what I'm going to do is add a new feel to it as an overlay and make it darker.
23
I can also turn it into a gradient that fades away gradually.
24
Just like that, we could dramatically improve our design.
25
The other example would be using a very light gray on a white card.
26
Just because you can read it easily doesn't mean that other people can too.
27
So make sure to check the contrast ratio of your colors to avoid accessibility issues.
28
Mistake number four, not applying colors properly.
29
Once your color palette is ready, you need to know how to allocate your colors properly.
30
Otherwise, your design wouldn't look good.
31
Here is an example of bad color usage.
32
As you can see, our CTAs don't pop because we should have used the accent color for them.
33
And keep in mind that you should reserve your accent color, which is usually a vibrant color for your actionable elements only.
34
If you use them everywhere, you cannot direct the user's eyes to your CTAs.
35
Mistake number five, bad visual hierarchy.
36
Having a good visual hierarchy in UI design can help the user to scan the content of your app
37
or website easily and quickly.
38
Let's take a look at this model card.
39
Did you notice the issues here?
40
As you can see, we don't have a good visual hierarchy
41
because our title and the body text use the same font size and weight.
42
And also, we didn't use two types of buttons to indicate their level of importance.
43
To fix these issues, I'm gonna increase the title's font size and also let me change its weight.
44
Then we can turn this cancel button into a text button.
45
It looks much better now, doesn't it?
46
Do you have anything else to add to this list?
47
If so, please let me know in the comment section down below.

本视频的口语学习目标

通过观看并模仿本视频,学习者可提升说明性口语的流畅度,尤其是如何清晰阐述设计原则与解决方案。视频中主持人条理清晰的表达的方式,非常适合练习“问题-分析-解决”式的口语结构,帮助学习者在描述技术细节时做到逻辑连贯、用词准确。同时,结合“shadow speech”或“shadow speak”技巧模仿其语速与语调,能有效提升英语口语的自然度。

实用表达库

  • “turn your design from this into this”:形象描述设计前后的变化,可用于说明改进效果。
  • “there is a misconception about”:引出常见错误观念,适用于纠正他人观点的场景。
  • “dramatically improve”:强调改进幅度大,增强表达的说服力。
  • “reserve...for”:表示“将...留作...之用”,可用于说明资源或元素的分配原则。
  • “direct the user's eyes to”:形象表达“引导用户注意力”,适用于界面设计或营销场景。

攻克口语薄弱点

视频中主持人的表达简洁明了,但其语速适中,且包含较多专业术语(如“contrast ratio”“visual hierarchy”),适合用于练习“shadowing”技巧。学习者可重点关注以下两点:一是如何在口语中自然融入专业词汇,避免生硬;二是掌握“先指出问题,再分析原因,最后给出解决方案”的表达节奏。通过“看YouTube学英语”并结合“shadowing site”进行反复模仿,能有效改善发音的清晰度与语句的节奏感。此外,视频中多次使用的“please never ever...”等强调句式,也值得学习者模仿,以增强口语表达的感染力。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
