Project Scope

Original design of the Better Gym app's home screen.
original app design home screen

The stroke weights, sizing, and spacing of icons vary noticeably. Additionally, grid layouts inconsistently mix 3- and 4-column structures within the same grid, without a clear rationale or design justification.

Creates lack of cohesion making the design more optically straining. layout.

Lack of information hierarchy and logical grouping of information. Difficult to intuitively navigate and find the feature you’re looking for.

Lack of breathing space with lots of unrelated items bunched together. Visually overwhelming, poor reading experience.

Typography system fontface, weights and sizes.

The typographic system was designed for clarity, consistency, and readability. I used Inter as the primary font due to its modern and highly legible design.

To maintain visual harmony and reduce unnecessary variation, I limited the number of font sizes and weights, ensuring a clean and structured text hierarchy that enhances usability.

4 point spacing system

To create a visually consistent and well-structured layout, I implemented a 4pt spacing system, where all spacing and padding values follow multiples of 4.

This approach ensures a balanced and predictable rhythm across the interface, improving alignment and overall readability while maintaining a cohesive design language.
