When presenting clients with your work, showcase to them about 3 different choices. All 3 choices should be fairly similar because you don't want to deviate too far from the template. Presenting the client with multiple choices shows them your abilities and breadth.

You want to make sure that your elements are lined-up. If they aren't lined up then it will look sloppy.
UX Designers come to understand their users through an iterative process of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing their designs.
This ties back to conducting surveys, A/B testing, etc. to develop a better product for your end users.
Communication
Communication encompasses everything you do or don't do. It's impossible to not convey/communicate some kind of message.
David Berman on Sustainable Design Thinking Strategy
A lot of people don't consider themselves disabled, but it's very common at some point in people's lives to have a certain level of impairment. It's important to keep this in mind when designing as you're designing for the general population--not just a specific individual.
David Berman on Sustainable Design Thinking Strategy
Corporations output a lot of waste. When they make small changes to be more sustainable, it results in big changes and saving a lot of material. Small changes can include anything from using 2% less plastic per water bottle to using wood buttons instead of plastic ones.
Fitts's Law
A lot of times companies make the "Buy Now" button large to attract users to it.
Loss Aversion
A lot of companies keep loss aversion in mind and convince users to buy insurance for things so they do not lose anything.
Cognitive Load
You want to make the cognitive load as minimal as possible. The lower the amount of brain power it takes, the more enticed the user will be to interact with the website. An example of this would be tik tok where it's very easy to consume content and scroll through the different reels.
UX Application: Anchoring
In the context of food delivery apps, highlighting a “large combo” at $20 first makes the $12 meal feel inexpensive.
Serial Position Effect
Users are more likely to remember the items in the beginning and end of a navigation bar for a site.
Hick's Law
If you overwhelm the user with too many options they might shut down and end up not making a decision at all.
People tend to favor information that confirms their existing beliefs, ignoring contradictory data.
An example of confirmation bias would be of someone who distrusts vaccines looking up forums and news articles about instances where vaccines caused illness, harm, etc. and ignoring scientific studies that prove their safety and effectiveness.
Steve Jobs
Even successful people like Steve Jobs makes mistakes sometimes. It is important to learn from the mistakes so that they are not repeated in the future and we end up with a better understanding of the problem.
Juxtaposition
As designers, we need to make sure each element of the page stands out rather than blends all together. This can be achieved by using different colors, fonts, sizes, and spacing to create difference. Without these differences, users may perceive everything as the same, which can reduce clarity and lower engagement.
Von Restorff Effect
As designers, we can apply the Von Restorff effect to influence what users notice and act on. For instance, making the “Sign Up” button a vibrant color while keeping other buttons muted draws attention to the desired action.
Visual Anchors
As web developers it's important to keep the concept of visual anchors in mind. We can use visual elements such as arrows or other cues to guide a user to look at (and potentially buy) a certain product.
