 For mobile, a 4- or 6-column grid can be used for simplicity and flexibility.
Define Gutters:
 Gutters (the space between columns) should be consistent to maintain a balanced
layout.
 Typically, 16px to 24px works well for most screen sizes.
Set Margins and Padding:
 Margins (the space around the edges) should be proportional to the screen size:
o For desktop, start with 24px to 40px margin.
o For mobile, use 16px to 24px margin to ensure content doesn't feel
cramped.
 Padding (space inside elements like buttons, cards, or sections) should be large
enough for comfortable touch targets on mobile.
o Use 8px to 16px padding for mobile elements and 16px to 24px for
desktop.
Spacing Consistency:
 Use consistent spacing increments (e.g., 8px, 16px, 32px) for all UI elements to
create a unified flow.
 Ensure vertical and horizontal spacing aligns with the grid to maintain consistency
across breakpoints.
Adapt for Different Screen Sizes:
 Mobile: Use smaller margins and padding to maximize space. Ensure that the grid
adapts by using Auto Layout (Figma) or Responsive Resize (Adobe XD).
 Tablet/Desktop: Increase the spacing between columns, especially for content-
heavy layouts, and adjust margins/padding to utilize the screen space effectively.
Flexible Containers:
 Use flexible containers (like Auto Layout in Figma) to allow elements to adapt and
adjust to screen size changes. This ensures your layout doesn’t break on different
devices.

o Ensure that all icons follow a unified style (e.g., line thickness, corner
radius, or filled vs. outlined) across the system. This creates a cohesive
visual language.
o Icons should be simple and easy to understand at a glance. Avoid
 unnecessary details and keep the design minimalistic so they are clear
even at small sizes.
o Icons should remain recognizable and legible at different sizes, from small
mobile icons to large desktop ones. Ensure consistent proportions at
various scales.
o Icons should visually represent their function or meaning, aligning with
users' expectations (e.g., a trash can for delete, a magnifying glass for
search).
o Icons should be distinguishable and legible to all users, including those
with visual impairments. Maintain high contrast with backgrounds and
ensure that icons are clear even in grayscale.
o Icons should complement the overall UI design. They should match the
design language, be it flat design, material design, or skeuomorphic
styles.

Deciding on Icon Style for Different Products

o The icon style should reflect the brand personality. For instance, a playful
brand might use hand-drawn, colorful icons, while a corporate product
would likely use clean, minimalistic icons.
o Consider the target audience’s preferences. A youth-focused app might
use bold, modern icons, while an enterprise tool might opt for more
subtle, professional icons.
o Align the icon style with platform-specific guidelines. For example,
Material Design icons are standard for Android, while iOS may use more
rounded, simple icons.
o For complex applications (e.g., admin dashboards), use simple,
straightforward icons with labels for clarity. For creative or entertainment
products, icons can be more artistic and expressive.
o Choose icon styles that fit the functionality of the product. For a fitness
app, use action-oriented icons like a dumbbell or running figure, while a
news app might use newspaper or headline icons.
