delighting, educating, and driving an action. Adding visuals and
animation will make it a pleasant suprise.

engaging visualisation will add delight to your product. Hints of
animation and interaction will encourage exploration.

experience feel more natural. Give an understanding of what
appeared from where, making it easy for them to navigate back.

results of their actions

enlightened about what is happening.

your app. Act as a helping hand to inform on new features and
pleasantly appear when not expected.
29. Microcopy A short sentance can provide a helpful
instruction to inform and guide. When used with the right tone of
voice can break down the mechanical barrier and create a human
touch.
30. Get personal Create an emotional connection with the user
to create a positive relationship with your product. Use their name
or any data you have to make it feel more personalised. Avoid the
creep factor.
31. Crack a smile Use humour and surprise to provoke a positive
response to your product. Memorable products will help you stand
out from the crowd.

which will create positive feelings towards your product. Give the
user something they will remember your product by.

from the overall experience.
