Design & Journey Review

Combined review of visual design and user journey. Evaluates whether an interface looks coherent and purposeful (color, type, spacing, density, hierarchy) and whether it serves the user's real workflow across sessions (friction points, emotional curve, golden path optimization, information architecture for daily use).

This skill merges the "how does it serve the user?" axis: visual hierarchy, color/type coherence, density balance, workflow stages, emotional patterns, and daily-use friction.

When to Use

• Evaluating visual hierarchy and information density for data-dense UIs
• Reviewing color system coherence (semantic colors, phase colors, theme adaptation)
• Assessing typography choices and type scale effectiveness
• Mapping the user's actual workflow and identifying friction
• Optimizing for daily-driver use cases (expert users, repeated sessions)
• Evaluating whether design choices earn their viewport space
• Finding density inversions (low-value content in high-value positions)

Do NOT use for interaction mechanics (state coverage, feedback timing, escape hatches). Use ux-interaction-review for those.
