One UI screen are designed to consider user movements and allow intuitive, easy use.
The top part of the screen is the viewing area where titles appear. The rest of the screen is the interaction area, where user actions occur.
Viewing area
The viewing area has wide margins to give the user the impression of open space. It also provides a natural connection between a user's eyes and the flow of action through the margin contrast with the interaction area.
Contents
The viewing area mainly contains content that users simply look at without any interaction. Components that require touch interaction are avoided here.
Typography for spatial design
One UI allows users to check information in the viewing area and then naturally move to the details in the interaction area. To achieve this, the viewing area contains content that is recognized at a glance, and the margins are effectively used to focus attention on this content.
With center-aligned text in the viewing area, the top of the screen has greater visual stability. This helps distinguish it from the interaction area which appears below.
Simple cut out
When an image is placed in the viewing area, use straight lines to separate it from the interaction area. Simple cuts reduce the complexity of the screen and minimize content loss.
Interaction area
Actionable components are grouped and placed in a logical order. The margins of the interaction area should be used appropriately to allow better focus on grouped content.
Grid types
The layout of the interaction area may vary depending on the content shown in it. The grid can be adjusted by considering how well the content will be displayed and what size will be used for the margins on each screen.
List grid
Card grid
2 Column grid
3 Column grid
