🧠 About the Law
The Aesthetic–Usability Effect states that users often perceive visually attractive interfaces as easier to use, even when the underlying functionality remains unchanged.
A well-designed interface builds trust, reduces perceived complexity, and creates a smoother user experience—purely through visual appeal and clarity.
🧩 Task Description
You are provided with a basic or cluttered UI screen in the task description.
Your task is to redesign this UI to make it:
- Visually clean
- Well-spaced
- More pleasant and intuitive to use
🎯 Your goal is to improve perceived usability through better visual design.
A sample design is provided below for reference. You are not required to replicate it, instead create your own unique design.
🎯 Design Goals
Your redesign should demonstrate improvement in:
- Visual appeal

✅ What You Must Do
- Redesign only the UI, not the logic or flow
- Keep the same content and functionality

🚫 Important Rule — No AI Slop Allowed
