Basic Principles of Interface design

The document provides an introduction to UX and UI design. It defines UI as the visual elements and interface a user sees, while UX encompasses usability, aesthetics, and the overall user experience. The author is working on a game project and learning UX/UI design. They explain that good design requires both good UI and UX, and that UX can be improved through testing and research, even with limited design skills. The basic UX design process involves research, wireframing, mockups, and interactive prototypes. The document outlines several future topics to be covered.

This document discusses best practices for user experience (UX) design. It begins by addressing common misconceptions such as thinking visual design is the same as UX or that UI and UX are the same. It emphasizes that UX must precede UI and focus on solving problems and understanding users through research. It then outlines best practices for UX including problem solving at the UX level not just UI, building collaborative cross-functional teams, and establishing an iterative UX process of discovery, strategy, design, testing and launch.

1. The document discusses UX design, including defining UX, the work of UX designers, and how to review UX. 2. It provides insights into how users interact with digital products and highlights truths about users, such as how they rely on habits and treat products as their property. 3. Examples are given of reviewing the UX of Snapchat for different age groups, finding that younger users prioritized fun over functions while older users focused more on understanding the product.

This document provides an overview of user interface design, including definitions, processes, and principles. It defines a user interface as the part of a computer system that users interact with to complete tasks. User-centered design is discussed as an approach that focuses on research into user behaviors and goals in order to design appropriate tools to enable users to achieve their objectives. Design principles like simplicity, structure, visibility, consistency, tolerance, and feedback are outlined.

This document provides an overview of user experience (UX) design principles and processes. It begins with definitions of UX and UI, then outlines the typical UX design process of understanding user needs, prototyping, and testing designs. Key principles discussed include placing elements according to visual importance and proximity, limiting options to aid decision making, using implicit visual cues to guide users, and designing for readability and scannability. Gestalt principles of grouping and flow are also covered. The document aims to explain how understanding cognitive processes can help designers create more effective interfaces.

The document discusses user experience (UX) and its importance. It provides an example of a website that has a good user interface (UI) but poor user experience (UX), frustrating a user trying to purchase a book. The document then defines UX, according to Don Norman, as encompassing a user's entire interaction with a company, its services, and products. It notes that UX concerns usability, ease of use, speed, and attractiveness, all impacting customer satisfaction. The rest of the document discusses UX design responsibilities like research, wireframing, prototyping, testing, and ongoing adjustments based on feedback.

User Interface Analysis and Design focuses on anticipating what users need to do. The goal is to translate how a machine works into how a person thinks through concepts from interaction design, visual design, and information architecture. UI design is an iterative process that involves user and task analysis, interface design with prototypes, and evaluation to refine the design based on usability testing. Key aspects of UI design include following principles like minimizing memory load, allowing undo and recovery from errors, and providing guidance for user diversity.

This document provides an overview of user-centered design. It defines user experience as how a person feels when interacting with a system or product. It then explains that user-centered design is a multi-stage process that involves understanding users' needs through research, designing with the user in mind, and testing designs with real users. The document outlines the user-centered design process and its stages of discovery, definition, design, validation, development and launch. It concludes by listing the benefits of taking a user-centered approach, such as increasing user satisfaction, performance and credibility while reducing costs.

In the fall of 2018, I was asked to present a guest lecture to first year students enrolled in the Business Technology Management program at Ryerson University.

In this presentation we’ll discuss the importance of critique and a language for discussing design. It can be easy to complain about the way things are and theorize on the way things should be. Progress comes from understanding why something is the way it is and then examining how it meets or does not meet its desired goals. This is critique. Critique is not about describing how bad something is, or proposing the ultimate solution. Critique is a dialogue, a conversation that takes place to better understand how we got to where we are, how close we are to getting where we want to go and what we have left to do to get there. The contents of this presentation will focus on: understanding critique best practices for incorporating critiques into a design practice identifying common challenges to critique and ways to improve our ability to deliver, collect and receive critique

This presentation from EK's Rebecca Wyatt and Claire Brawdy details how the Design Thinking process can be applied to facilitate sessions and engage end users in the design process. Originally presented at the ACMP Change Management 2018 Conference in Las Vegas.

User Experience (UX) has matured as a discipline and radically changed how products are delivered. It touches workflows, usability, customer needs, and of course visual design and UI. Product managers can't ignore it, even if they want to... and if they want to, they're probably wrong. The tools of User Experience can help us get closer to our customers and differentiate our products.
