Kyle Sollenberger sums up 10 User Interface Design Fundamentals, and most of them can be used on almost any design you do other than UI. But here’s a 1 liner I can sum up everything you need to have. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Yes. Just be overly obsessive in every little detail.

1. Know your user
2. Pay attention to patterns
3. Stay consistent
4. Use visual hierarchy
5. Provide feedback
6. Be forgiving
7. Empower your user
8. Speak their language
9. Keep it simple
10. Keep moving forward

There you have it. 10 fundamentals of User Interface Design.
