Layered UI Design

Layered UI design organizes interface elements into distinct, manageable layers (e.g., background, content, overlays, animations) for efficient iteration, accessibility, and responsive behavior across devices.

Key Principles

• Separation of Concerns: Each layer handles specific aspects (e.g., visual hierarchy, interaction, data flow)
• Scalability: New features added without disrupting existing layers
• Collaboration: Designers and developers work on different layers concurrently
