Structure your application

• System structure
  Structure your system into logic function blocks

• Function principle
  Clarify unequivocally the necessary functions of the system, and do not burden it with unnecessary things.

• Denomination of objects and variables
  Allocate unequivocal names to your variables and objects. This makes orientation in the application easier later.

• Functionality
  Carefully think about optimized communication. Too much overhead can render any system inoperable.

Layout

• Screen colors
  Forego gaudy and loud colors.

• Pages build-up
  Create a logic connection in guiding through multiple screen pages

• Screen build-up
  Do not place too many objects on one page

• Functionality
  Arrange your functions on the individual pages

Images, icons and more

• Clear symbols
  Symbols should be self-explanatory
