How to Design Better UI 3.0

Good interface design is made from many small decisions: how a layout holds together, where color draws the eye, and whether a button or form feels clear at a glance. How to Design Better UI 3.0 brings those decisions into focus with visual guidance that moves from design foundations to the interface elements designers work with every day.

Adrian Kuleszo’s guide starts with Figma setup and the building blocks of layout, then moves through visual principles and practical examples of web and mobile UI. It offers a useful route from understanding the basics to taking a closer look at how individual components contribute to a coherent interface.

Start with the structure

The opening material introduces Figma setup, layouts, grids and the box model. These foundations help make sense of spacing, alignment and how content is organized across a screen—before attention shifts to the finer details of a design.

See how visual choices work together

Sections on color, shadows and gradients explore some of the visual tools that shape an interface. The guide also introduces UI/UX terms and common interface elements, giving readers a shared vocabulary for thinking and talking about design.

Explore the components users encounter

Dedicated sections cover buttons, forms, pricing displays, dropdowns, navigation, search, modals, hero sections and UI cards. Rather than stopping at abstract principles, the book looks at familiar building blocks in context—useful when planning a screen or reviewing a component that does not quite feel right.

Turn examples into practice

Style guides, good-versus-bad UI comparisons and a section on practicing UI round out the material. Keep a design tool or sketchbook nearby as you read: the ideas are well suited to trying out directly in your own layouts.

Who may find it useful?

This edition may interest aspiring and practicing interface and web designers, along with developers, managers and other creatives looking to strengthen their understanding of UI design. Its progression from core concepts to individual components makes it approachable as both a guided read and a reference to return to during design work.
