🚀 Learn interface design faster and become a UI master! Discover practical tips with real examples, understand design, and what skills are essential to grow as a designer.
@markoxvee Thanks for the support, Marko. The most critical skill for new designers has to do nothing with actual pixels - I'd say it's consistency. Many people get into the industry for the wrong reasons, and it's important to design something, even if it's tiny every single day.
@markoxvee Let me know how you find it afterwards 🔥

@denislav_jeliazkov, I just purchased the Master UI eBook this morning and unfortunately I'm finding that there are parts that are not well written. For example, the first thing addressed in the chapter on Typography is the Rule of Four yet the rule is never actually defined. I have to deduce what it is based on the examples given.
Page 27 has the title of Creating Hierarchy but then goes on to talk about spacing and line height without ever mentioning how they relate to creating hierarchy.
On page 29 the first sentence reads, "The safest route for you to space your long paragraphs is to multiply it by 1.5." What is "it" that I'm supposed to be multiplying? That isn't clear at all.
Sadly I can't recommend this book. It needs to be given to a copy editor so that spelling, grammar, and most importantly clarity can be improved.
@nathan_llewellyn Thank you for the feedback Nathan! This is just version 1 and I will be improving and updating the book closely thank yo feedback like yours.
I highly appreciate your opinion!
Hello @producthunt! Today you can get the digital version of 'Master UI Elements' 🚀
Many moons ago, I opened Photoshop wanting to create designs that people would use. Very soon after that, I encountered the frustration of not understanding the basic fundamentals of design. After a lot of trial and error, looking at other people's work and trying to reverse engineer everything, I got a solid understanding of how to create beautiful and functional interfaces.
What I was truly missing in those early years was a simple guide for every single element there. Not medium posts, not Instagram carousels - but real-life examples and why they are used in this scenario.
That is why I created this book. I wanted to share everything I've learned about interface design in a concise format that everybody understands.
Who is this book for?
🐣People just starting on in interface design
🤷♀️ UX designers who lack confidence in their visual skills
👩🏿💻 Developers who love to build end-to-end experiences
What do you get inside?
📘 How to get into the designer mindset
💬 Master typography and use it to your advantage

🪜 Create a hierarchy that works for the people using the product
📲 Learn the fundamentals and best practices for:

Tables
🧠 How to take your skills to the next level
After reading the book, you will:
🤫 Be more confident in the design decisions you are making
👀 Learn how to design readable and useful interfaces

Other platforms will come with the final version of the eBook (ePub, mobi, iBooks).
I will be listening to the community's feedback and updating the book in the next six months.

Finally! Cannot wait to read and recommend this book to every design practitioner.
Denis is a master of its craft, so I have no doubt that book is a value bomb 💣
I have been working with Denis a few times and his skills are outstanding. I'm glad he decided to share his knowledge with all of us. Congrats on the launch, Denis!
I've been following Denislav for quite some time and I must say he's such a dedicated and talented expert in the UI/X field!
I had the opportunity to read the book before it went officially out and gotta admit it's one of the best books I've ever seen on the topic. As a developer doing UI stuff, it's the perfect blend between the essential theory and practical guidance everyone doing UI needs to know!
I highly recommend spending a few bucks on this one, as it's the practical shortcut we all need to better and more effective UIs.
Great job, @denislav_jeliazkov!
