Visual design focuses on the aesthetics of the interface, ensuring it is visually appealing and aligns with the brand identity. It involves creating a cohesive visual language that enhances the user experience and communicates the brand’s values.

• Activities:
  • Color Palette Selection: Designers choose colors that reflect the brand’s identity and evoke the desired emotions. For example, a healthcare app might use calming blues and greens, while a fitness app might use vibrant reds and oranges.
  • Typography: Designers select fonts that are legible and align with the brand’s personality. For example, a luxury brand might use elegant serif fonts, while a tech startup might use modern sans-serif fonts.
  • Imagery and Icons: Designers create or select images and icons that enhance the visual appeal and usability of the interface. For example, an e-commerce site might use high-quality product images and intuitive icons for navigation.
• Purpose:
  The goal of visual design is to create an engaging and cohesive visual experience that resonates with users. It also helps establish brand recognition and trust.
• Outcome:
  A polished and professional interface that enhances the user experience and aligns with the brand identity.
• Challenges:
  Balancing aesthetics with usability can be challenging. Designers must ensure that visual elements enhance the user experience without overwhelming or distracting users. Additionally, maintaining consistency across different screens and devices can be difficult.
