+ # Design Principles: Beautiful & Right
2
+
3
+ ## BEAUTIFUL: Understanding Aesthetic Principles
4
+
5
+ ### Study Process
6
+ Analyze high-quality designs on Dribbble, Mobbin, Behance. Ask AI to identify:
7
+ - Design styles (Memphis, Flat Design, Glassmorphism, Neo-brutalism, Minimalism)
8
+ - Layout structures & applications
9
+ - Typography systems (font pairing, hierarchy, scaling)
10
+ - Color systems (palettes, contrasts, psychology)
11
+
12
+ ### Visual Hierarchy
13
+ Guide users through interfaces effectively:
14
+ - **Size**: Larger elements draw attention first
15
+ - **Contrast**: High contrast (text/background) boosts readability
16
+ - **Typography**: Use weight, size, style for hierarchy
17
+ - **Placement**: F-pattern (web), Z-pattern (landing pages)
18
+ - **Spacing**: White space improves clarity, reduces cognitive load
19
+
20
+ ### Typography Best Practices
21
+ - Stick to 2-3 typefaces max
22
+ - Clear font hierarchy with proper spacing, sizes, alignment
23
+ - Appropriate font sizes for readability across devices
24
+ - Short, scannable paragraphs
25
+
26
+ ### Color Theory Applications
27
+ - **Blue**: Trust, security, calmness
28
+ - **Red**: Urgency, passion, excitement
29
+ - **Warm colors**: Drive urgency
30
+ - **Cool colors**: Create trust
31
+ - Use color intentionally to direct attention & evoke emotion
32
+ - Ensure WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 text, 3:1 large text)
33
+
34
+ ### White Space
35
+ Not empty—essential for clarity. Proper spacing between sections, buttons, text improves readability & gives visual breathing room.
36
+
37
+ ## RIGHT: Ensuring Functionality
38
+
39
+ ### Design Systems Research
40
+ Search "Figma Design System + [style]" to understand:
41
+ - Component architecture (atomic design: atoms → molecules → organisms)
42
+ - Layout principles (grid systems, responsive breakpoints)
43
+ - UX patterns & interactions
44
+
45
+ ### Component Library Standards
46
+ - Semantic HTML first (button > div with ARIA roles)
47
+ - Built-in accessibility, focus handling, keyboard interaction
48
+ - Each component tested for accessibility before adding
49
+ - Documentation includes structure, focus order, keyboard expectations, screen reader announcements
50
+
51
+ ### Accessibility Requirements
52
+ - WCAG 2.1 AA minimum (work toward 2.2)
53
+ - Color contrast ratios meet/exceed minimums
54
+ - Alt text for images
55
+ - Color-blind-friendly palettes
56
+ - Keyboard navigation support
57
+ - Screen reader compatibility
58
+
59
+ ### Testing Protocol
60
+ - Automated tools catch 30-50% of issues
61
+ - Manual testing crucial for comprehensive coverage
62
+ - Test with real users when possible

52
+ Maintain separate branches for different design style variations during development.
53
+ Allows parallel exploration of Minimalist, Modern, Glassmorphism interpretations.
54
+
55
+ ### Parallel Agents
56
+ Use multiple agents to generate design style variations simultaneously, compare approaches.
57
+
58
+ ## Documentation Standards
59
+
60
+ ### Required Files
61
+ Create in `./docs/` directory:
62
+ - **design-guideline.md**: Color patterns, typography, layout principles, component styling, design highlights
63
+ - **design-story.md**: Narrative elements, thematic decisions, user journey considerations
64
+
65
+ ### Content
66
+ Document:
67
+ - Rationale for design decisions
68
+ - Style guide (colors, fonts, spacing)
69
+ - Component patterns & usage
70
+ - Responsive breakpoints
71
+ - Accessibility considerations
72
+ - Brand alignment
73
+
74
+ ### Maintenance
75
+ Update during development. Use development rules to remind Claude Code to follow guidelines consistently.

+ # Micro-Interactions: Satisfying Experience

+
3
+ ## SATISFYING: Adding Micro-Interactions
4
+
5
+ ### Duration Guidelines
6
+ - **General micro-interactions**: 150-300ms (avoid interrupting flow)
7
+ - **Button presses**: Start within 16ms of click
8
+ - **Standard animations**: 200-500ms
9
+ - **UI motions**: 0.5-2s typically
10
+ - **Rule**: A tenth of a second makes big difference; half second wrong feels jarring
11
+
12
+ ### Basic Effects
13
+ - **Fade**: Smooth opacity transitions
14
+ - **Slide**: Directional movement (left/right/up/down)
15
+ - **Scale**: Size changes (grow/shrink)
16
+ - **Rotate**: Angular transformations
17
+ - Sequential timing with 0.1s delays between elements
18
+
19
+ ### Easing Curves
20
+ Linear motion = robotic. Use easing for natural feel:
21
+
22
+ **Ease-out** (starts fast, slows down):
23
+ - Best for: Elements entering screen
24
+ - Makes animation feel responsive
25
+ - Allows eye time to focus as element settles
26
+ - Most common for UI micro-interactions
27
+
28
+ **Ease-in** (starts slow, speeds up):
29
+ - Best for: Elements leaving screen
30
+ - Natural exit motion
31
+
32
+ **Spring/bounce**:
33
+ - Playful, energetic feel
34
+ - Use sparingly for emphasis
35
+
36
+ **Cubic-bezier**:
37
+ - Fine-tuned control over motion curves
38
+ - Custom easing for specific needs
39
+
40
+ ### Motion Characteristics
41
+ - Follow real-world physics (objects speed up when starting, slow down when stopping)
42
+ - Subtle curves for micro-interactions
43
+ - Bolder curves for attention-grabbing transitions
44
+ - Always have purpose—guide users or give feedback
45
+
46
+ ### Performance
47
+ - Aim for smooth 60fps
48
+ - Prefer hardware-accelerated properties (transforms, opacity)
49
+ - Avoid fancy effects causing frame drops or battery drain
50
+ - Provide motion-reduced alternatives for accessibility
51
+
52
+ ### Resources
53
+ Study 21st.dev for component animations & subtle effects worth emulating.

+ # Storytelling Design: Peak Experience

+
3
+ ## PEAK: Storytelling Through Design
4
+
5
+ ### Narrative Elements
6
+ Elevate designs by incorporating story-driven interactions:
7
+ - **Parallax effects**: Different scroll speeds create depth
8
+ - **Particle systems**: Dynamic, living background elements
9
+ - **Thematic consistency**: Every element reinforces the narrative
10
+ - **Progressive disclosure**: Reveal information as user explores
11
+
12
+ ### Key Principle
13
+ "Too much of anything isn't good"—use restraint. Peak moments should be intentional, not overwhelming.
14
+
15
+ ### Implementation Approaches
16
+
17
+ **Scroll-Based Storytelling**:
18
+ - Reveal content in meaningful sequences
19
+ - Use scroll position to trigger animations
20
+ - Create depth with parallax layers
21
+ - Build anticipation through pacing
22
+
23
+ **Interactive Elements**:
24
+ - Hover states that reveal additional context
25
+ - Click interactions that unfold stories
26
+ - Drag interactions that manipulate narrative elements
27
+ - Gesture-based reveals on mobile
28
+
29
+ **Visual Narrative**:
30
+ - Hero sections that set tone
31
+ - Consistent visual metaphors throughout
32
+ - Imagery that supports the message
33
+ - Typography that reinforces brand personality
34
+
35
+ ### Technical Considerations
36
+ - Ensure storytelling enhances, not hinders, usability
37
+ - Maintain performance (60fps) during narrative elements
38
+ - Provide accessibility alternatives
39
+ - Test across devices & screen sizes
40
+ - Graceful degradation for older browsers
41
+
42
+ ### Inspiration Sources
43
+ Study award-winning sites like:
44
+ - Awwwards.com winners
45
+ - CSS Design Awards
46
+ - FWA (Favourite Website Awards)
47
+ - Brand campaign sites
48
+
49
+ ### Balance
50
+ Strong storytelling + solid functionality = peak experience. Neither should sacrifice the other.
