# Key Design Principles* **Is it forgiving?** No matter how clear your design is, people willmake mistakes. You should handle user errors with as much attentionto simplicity as the rest of the UI. Ensure users can easily backup, resume, and avoid dead-ends; always provide a way forward. Useerror messages as a teachable moment and avoid technical language,placing blame, or making users feel stupid. Users must have a senseof comfort and trust at every step.* **Is it entertaining and engaging?** The app should create anentertainment experience, in such a way that the UI itself should also be engagingand a joy to use. Be more visual and celebrate artwork and images,like movie posters, and make them big. Keep the UI experience human,approachable, light-hearted and comfortable throughout the screen.Pay attention to the tone and the wording of the text.

Therefore, ensure everything iseasy to read with high contrast and large text. The larger text hasthe added benefit of forcing you to be concise and reduce the totalamount of information shown (information density) to just what's* **Is it overscan safe?** TVs were made of cathode ray tubes (CRT) inanticipation of overscan that produced inconsistent images across TVsets, especially along the screen edges. To compensate, CRT TVs usedoverscan, which slightly enlarged the image itself so those badscreen edges would be outside the viewing area. The app should avoidThe same call, in code.
