@yaojingang: In the Open Design GitHub repository, there is a great document: "Anti-AI Flavor Design Guide". The document link is at the end. Some principles summarized as follows: 1. Don't use the purple-blue color that AI loves most; use the brand colors defined by your product. 2. Don't casually create purple-blue gradient hero sections. A truly premium first screen doesn't necessarily rely on gradients; it should be built on clear information, typography, white space, and real product expression. 3. Don't use emojis as functional icons. In a truly productized design, icons should have a unified style, such as linear SVG icons with consistent size, stroke width, and color. 4. Don't misuse fonts. If your product already has its own font specifications, titles, body text, and buttons should follow the design system, rather than directly using default fonts like Inter, Roboto, or system-ui. 5. Don't do that "rounded card with colored left border"; remove at least one of the rounded corners or the left border. 6. Don't fabricate data; if there's a real source, include it; if not, don't write anything. You can use placeholders, but clearly mark them as such. 7. Don't fill pages with placeholder text; blank space itself is a design issue that should be addressed through structure, rhythm, and content priority. 8. Don't make all pages look the same. 9. Don't overuse accent colors and placeholder images. 10. Add a touch of "human judgment" to the design. The author suggests a ratio: 80% mature patterns, 20% unique choices. The biggest problem with AI design is that it looks too templated. It appears complete, with smooth colors and neat components, but it lacks real product scenarios, real user details, and the designer's trade-offs.
