What are the elements of consistency?

Similar elements that are perceived the same way make up the visual consistency. It increases learnability of the product. Fonts, sizes, buttons, labeling and similar need to be consistent across the product to keep visual consistency.

What are the different types of consistency in design?

There are four types of consistency that are important to note when designing; visual, functional, internal, and external. Achieving all these will not only improve the usability and learnability of the product but also, predictability.

What is consistency in UX principles?

Consistency is one of 10 fundamental usability heuristics, which are core principles for interaction design defined by Jakob Nielsen back in 1994. Consistency in this list is based on the principle that users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or actions mean the same thing.

What is consistency of design?

Consistency in design is about making elements uniform — having them look and behave the same way. We often hear designers talk about consistent navigation, consistent page layouts, or consistent control elements. In each case, the designer is looking for a way to leverage the usability by creating uniformity.
