Design Tips

1

Embrace empty space

White space is not wasted space. Let your UI breathe by keeping at least 40% of the screenshot area clean.

2

Use one accent color

Pick a single brand color for highlights and CTAs. Let everything else stay neutral — grays, whites, blacks.

3

Show one feature per slide

Resist the urge to cram multiple features. Each screenshot should communicate exactly one benefit.

4

Choose clean fonts

Stick to geometric sans-serif fonts like Inter, SF Pro, or Helvetica Neue. Avoid decorative typefaces.
