**NOTE: Please do not add issues to this epic. Our current effort is to burn this list down to zero.** For areas of the product that are highly trafficked and stable (mature features that aren't undergoing significant change), we must refine our visual design. High-quality aesthetics have a strong impact on user evaluation of any product: * **Usability:** The Aesthetic-Usability Effect shows that users perceive attractive products as more usable, tending to believe things that look better will work better (even if they don’t). https://www.nngroup.com/articles/aesthetic-usability-effect/ * **Credibility:** Our brains subconsciously rely on two systematic modes for processing information: Automatic and Complex Thinking. Our Automatic System immediately looks for visual cues to determine the most relevant information on a page. If the most visually impactful info isn’t relevant, then users judge the system as less credible. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/first-impressions-human-automaticity/ This epic collects visual refinements for our Visual Designer to address systematically (for consistency throughout the GitLab UI).
