'Ooh', I hear you cry, 'a form. How thrilling.'

Well, yes. All too often, designers don't think about how a form's to be used, and just knock the fields out. I prefer to think about what the form's actually going to be used for, and will often print it out and try to fill it in based on old data.

For example, on this form, the address box aligns with the window in a DL windowed envelope; the main body is then below the fold; the item fields are separated by horizontal dividers to make it really obvious which quantities relate to which items, and I've moved the dates to be prominently placed (under the logo).

Little things, but they do make a difference...
