Marc Andrew’s UI & UX Micro-Tips: 8-Bit Anniversary Edition, published on UX Collective, presents a curated collection of 36 concise design tips aimed at enhancing user interfaces and experiences. Celebrating the fifth anniversary of his original micro-tip series, Andrew revisits and refines these insights, packaging them in a nostalgic 8-bit theme. The article emphasizes that minor adjustments—such as optimizing whitespace, ensuring sufficient text contrast, and maintaining consistent typography—can significantly improve the usability and aesthetic appeal of digital products.  
The tips cover a broad spectrum of design principles, including visual hierarchy, accessibility, color usage, and user feedback mechanisms. For instance, Andrew advises designers to use a single typeface with varied weights for a cleaner look, to reserve specific colors exclusively for call-to-action elements to guide user behavior, and to provide clear labels alongside icons to enhance comprehension. These practical suggestions are particularly beneficial for SaaS teams and designers seeking to make impactful improvements without undertaking extensive redesigns.
