Hi, I'm
Maor

A UX researcher and graphic designer since age 12, when I first discovered Photoshop and fell in love with it.

I truly believe in these principles of visual perception.

These principles offer insight into what happens behind the scenes of a design process, showing that graphic design is more than just creating a pretty image.

By familiarizing yourself with basic design principles such as the principles of gestalt, you can better identify good design.

This skill is essential not only for designers but also for anyone requesting design.
