Interface design

Graphic design creates visuals for communication (posters, visual identities, print) whereas interface design shapes interactive interfaces for digital products. They both use the same principles (visual hierarchy, typography, colours…) but each has its own dimension. In interface design you'll also find the interaction states, responsiveness, accessibility…

Visual hierarchy is the organisation of the elements of an interface. It guides the user's attention. You sense it through the size of elements, their weight, their colours, their contrasts… An important element must immediately capture attention thanks to a good visual hierarchy.

Through the design system. It lets you document each of your components (buttons, forms, modals…) with their states, usage rules, interactions… A good design system will let you keep optimal consistency and reduce your production time.

By integrating it from the very conception of your interface! The constraints put in place by accessibility are not a brake on creativity, they simply set a framework that makes your interface usable by as many people as possible. So you just have to take these limits into account from the start of your design.
