Design style guidelines to follow.
- Simple - minimize any visual obstacles that can impede the user from using
the app - Informative - provide information, context and visual queues that might
enhance the user’s understanding and provide clarity. - Helpful - provide walk throughs, and instructions that allow the user to
adapt to new exercises or help them create their own - Creative - the mind is as artistic as it is technical so the app should
reflect this creativity in its design.
