Oracle Customer Service UI Concept

A Study In UI #007 Oracle Customer Service UI Concept

Avoid Ambiguous Spacing

"Whenever you’re relying on spacing to connect a group of elements, always make sure there’s more space around the group than there is within it — interfaces that are hard to understand always look worse."

An Oracle Customer Service Conversational UI Concept used to demonstrate the practice of avoiding ambiguous spacing in forms, chats and between paragraphs. It is important to be conscious of the use of space between relative elements. Relative spacing should be used to create a clear belonging of elements without causing users to second guess.
