Learn how to design beautiful user interfaces by yourself using specific tactics explained from a developer's point-of-view.
• Design with tactics, not talent.
• Here's a concrete design tactic I bet you see applied every day but haven't explicitly noticed.
• Use fewer borders.
• Borders are a great way to distinguish two elements from one another, but using too many of them can make your design feel busy and cluttered.
• Instead, try adding a box shadow, using contrasting background colors, or simply adding more space between elements.
• It doesn't take any talent to make changes like this — once you know the tactic you just need to notice the problem and apply the solution.
