Don’t try to impose joy on users because adding unnecessary design elements can interfere with their tasks and frustrate them. Designers sometimes try to bedazzle the interface with flashy animations or bright colors to engage users. However, these elements can distract users from their primary goals.^[1] For example, in a banking app, adding animated confetti every time a transaction is made might seem fun, but it can quickly become annoying for users who just want to manage their finances efficiently.

Keep it simple and focused. Ensure your design enhances the user experience without getting in the way. This way, users can complete their tasks smoothly and appreciate the subtle, thoughtful touches that add genuine delight.
