Color Palette Strategy
HighUtilize the custom palette effectively: #4b3fb5 for headers/navigation, #FFC107 for key metrics, and #2c2569 for secondary elements. Ensure a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for accessibility and maintain consistency across the dashboard.
Layout & Grid System
HighImplement a 12-column grid layout for a 4:3 dashboard ratio. Place KPIs at the top for immediate visibility, followed by charts in the middle, and activity feeds or tables below. Maintain 16-24px padding and 16-20px gaps between sections.
Typography Hierarchy
MediumUse 24-28px bold for the dashboard title, 18-20px semibold for section headers, 14-16px medium for card titles, and 12-14px regular for body text. Maintain a consistent font family like Inter for cohesive design.
Data Visualization UX
HighSelect chart types that align with the data: use gauges for performance targets, a geographic map for patient distribution, and sparklines for trend monitoring. Limit chart colors to 5-7 for clarity and include tooltips for context.
Visual Hierarchy & Focus
MediumEstablish a clear visual hierarchy by making the largest elements represent the most important metrics. Use whitespace to separate sections effectively and add shadows or borders to enhance card depth. Use conditional formatting to highlight anomalies.
Interaction & Feedback
LowImplement hover states on interactive elements, use loading skeletons during data refresh, and provide visual feedback on filter interactions. Consider drill-through navigation for deeper analysis of metrics.
