aesthetic integrity
A principle that advocates that a design should be visually appealing and should follow a number of principles of visual design, including: consistency, clear identity, clear visual hierarchy, good alignment, contrast, etc.
As with all design principles, aesthetics needs to be carefully balanced with other requirements, such as providing adequate information when it is most useful and avoiding confusing the user. Aesthetics must never overrule usability.
