ソフトウェアエンジニアのためのデザイン原則

WRONG (equal spacing = no grouping):
┌─────────────────┐
│ Label           │
│                 │
│ Input Field     │
│                 │
│ Label           │
│                 │
│ Input Field     │
└─────────────────┘

RIGHT (unequal spacing = clear groups):
┌─────────────────┐
│ Label           │
│ Input Field     │ ← Tight (4px) - related
│                 │
│                 │ ← Wide (24px) - separating groups
│ Label           │
│ Input Field     │ ← Tight (4px) - related
└─────────────────┘

.form-group {
  margin-bottom: 24px;  /* Between groups: wide */
}

.form-group label {
  margin-bottom: 4px;   /* Label to input: tight */
  display: block;
}

VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 4) {  // Tight within group
    Text("Email")
        .font(.caption)
        .foregroundStyle(.secondary)
    TextField("you@example.com", text: $email)
        .textFieldStyle(.roundedBorder)
}
.padding(.bottom, 24)  // Wide between groups

Example Navigation:
┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Dashboard] [Projects] [Settings] │  ← Same style = same function

│ ┌─────┐  ┌─────┐  ┌─────┐        │
│ │Card │  │Card │  │Card │         │  ← Same style = same content type
│ └─────┘  └─────┘  └─────┘        │
│                                   │
│ [+ New Project]                   │  ← Different style = different function

CONTINUITY IN ALIGNMENT:
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ Logo    [Nav]  [Nav]  [Nav]   │  ← Aligned on horizontal axis
├────────────────────────────────┤
│                                │
│ Headline                       │
│ ─────────────────────────────  │  ← Eye follows left edge
│ Paragraph text continues       │
│ along the same left edge       │
│                                │
│ [Primary Action]               │  ← Still on the left edge
