Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.

- Learn how to use white or negative space: White space is your friend. Using white space correctly will help your design breathe and flow better.

- Less is more: It’s tempting to use shadows, gradients, sophisticated stroke width, and border-radius combinations. But doing too much of this can hurt the design.
