Using Too Many Colors
Do you think UIs with a lot of color look pretty? well, I agree.
But the sad news is that they’re often used without
a reason and are in fact useless.

3. Using Borders
Instead of using borders (or strokes) just use a soft drop
shadow. This is a simple yet effective tip to make
your interface look much cleaner and better.

4. Using Too Many Separators lines
Same thing as with borders. There’s no point of
separating every single thing with lines.
Spacing elements out is better.

Using elements that are very round
While rounded elements are user friendly, making

6. Using Shadows on gray elements
Gray elements shouldn’t be elevated using a shadow.
It looks very messy and creates confusion,
so avoid it.
