Master Spacing in UI Design 💪

[@billgalloway1799]

A grid defines the amount of variable width columns across the page. E.g. 12,8,6,4 the gutters and padding are based on the base REM usually 16px which is decidable by eight. This allows your horizontal grid to fit any screen width as you change column count between break points and columns scale horizontally between each break point.

Spacing is king! For me the most important thing in UI . Nice video Jesse, Cheers 😁✏

love when brandon urie drops new UI tutorials

[@jeremyfultineer7]

I chimed in, but haven’t you designers ever heard of… Using an eight point grid? No it’s much better to space these kinds of things with a rule of proximity

Been looking for something like this to have a better understand on how to make a system working within UI. THANK YOU!!!

[@billgalloway1799]

Can’t believe that you didn’t mention your 8px grid is driven by the base em being 16px. Im assuming that’s why you do it. Everything in typography is driven from the base M of set and the equivalent in digital is the base REM which is invariable 16px. This is exactly how I work and now with tokens it’s so easy. Thanks for reassuring me about my design practices and for helping to keeping me relevant.

Thanks Jesse! I really enjoy these more specific, detailed videos!

[@nickshmaaks]

Nice vid! Definitely the one of the most underrated skills that juniors should develop asap!

[@nilanjanaajayant8189]

hi thank you so much for these tutorials! they've been immensely helpful as a junior designer. I was hoping you could make more videos like portfolio or case study reviews where you point out common mistakes and things you would improve in them :) thanks!

[@dollaya8893]

Hey thank you so much. I started my first project and I was confused on how to do padding. So this video helps!

[@JesseShowalter]

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you so much!

[@pixeepixel4170]

Good stuff as always!!

[@spreadItWide]

Good stuff! You mentioned the button spacing, do you have any advice for the size of the buttons, specifically the smallest I should make them for finger taps (like, share, report, save, etc. buttons).

[@amanrao9702]

40px is sweet spot for smaller button size. Try it once ! 😊

[@spreadItWide]

@@amanrao9702 Appreciate that! I'll check it out!

[@shashankdogra]

Spacing is so important! I can’t stress it enough

[@PrasunOnYoutube]

Can you do a similar video of choosing ui colours for light and dark mode

[@radiansinus8126]

Great explanation Jesse, it really helped me. Thanks for making this.

Thank you so much. I was looking for a video like this

[@Patricia-s8p5l]

Thank you!!!

[@saliuarts]

Thanks so much. This video made alot of things clearer to me

[@prmcabrita]

How do you adjust your 8px grid (Figma) if the width is different on different devices (to have equal divisions accross the width)? Thanks :)

[@prmcabrita]

Great video!

[@tsots2501]

Always love your stuff. Quick question, do developers prefer working with col grids vs pixel grids? I'd assume cols since it's relative and now you can develop based on cols but I'm wondering if there's a way to easily convert those pixel grid designs to be ready for development. Or perhaps the developers code it by hard-coding paddings/margins with pixels and fill up the containers to be full width? Wondering if anyone has experience/answer to this. Thanks.

[@AndresLopez-zj2ki]

Can you share the Figma file? Just curious how you set the frames!

[@telagathotiveeraiah8805]

nice video jesse

[@nebulanexus26]

thank you so much!

[@SamiraSattarSimin]

thank you so much..this was really helpful. All this time my spacing was messed up

[@2405krishna]

Nice one Jesse, tq

[@TateTalks9]

want video about typography,header sizes plz

[@ItsLenny24]

Great video! One question: In the video you are refering to a 8px grid, but in the video description it says 8pt grid. Are points and pixels the same?

[@chinemeremnwani2046]

Pls I have a question So you used 24px for the padding of the entire screen Pls what padding did you use for each cards

[@TateTalks9]

same space also desktop app?

[@MitchelWangui]

I would give this 100 likes❤

[@DesignDen673]

What is the font used for titles?

[@madhawapriyashantha3722]

why 6px?it is not 8 th multiply? If its decimal number then we can have any amount of pixels?

[@yamitmatmon5981]

Thank you

[@personalquests]

This is truly incredible! Could you provide a review of my application? I've gained so much knowledge from it.

[@JohnVenters]

Using 6px in an 8px system hurts my soul though, and sometimes 8px feels like too far for smaller elements

[@AJ-vy4yu]

Nitpick: the intro song is too loud or your voice is too low volume. My ears went boom. But other than that great video😀

[@JesseShowalter]

Ok thanks!

[@alikhan6259]

Soo basic. When are you going to share some advance tips. I have been following you for a long time and it seems like you content is catered to beginners. Sorry for harsh words but I kinda disappointed in you J.

[@BGdev305]

Do you REALLY need to make the big idiotic faces video covers for EVERY video? I mean seriously, is it some youtube algorithm that you creators feel the need to do this for?
