    Study Notes

    Skeleton Plane

    • Refines the structure by identifying specific aspects of interface, navigation, and information design
    • Makes the conceptual structure concrete

    Conventions & Metaphors

    • Conventions: established norms or standards in design that users are familiar with
    • Examples of conventions: three-by-four matrix of digits on a telephone keypad
    • Metaphors: figurative comparisons that help users understand unfamiliar concepts
    • Examples of metaphors: icons

    Interface Design

    • Involves selecting the right elements and arranging them for clarity and ease of use
    • Balances user needs, technology constraints, and business goals
    • Goal: to create an interface that is intuitive, efficient, and easy to navigate for most users

    Standard Interface Elements

    • Checkboxes: allow users to select multiple options independently
    • Radio buttons: allow users to select one option from a mutually exclusive set
    • Text fields: allow users to enter text
    • Dropdown lists: provide a compact way to select from many options, but may hide options from view
    • List boxes: provide a compact way to select multiple options, but require scrolling for long lists
    • Action buttons: perform actions based on user input from other elements
    • Provides users a way to get around, communicate the relationship between elements, and indicate the current location
    • Global navigation: provides access to the entire site
    • Local navigation: provides access to nearby pages in the hierarchy
    • Supplementary navigation: provides shortcuts to related content
    • Contextual navigation: embedded in the page content itself
    • Courtesy navigation: provides access to infrequently needed items
    • Remote navigation: stand-alone tools like sitemaps and indexes

    Information Design

    • Involves organizing and presenting information in a way that makes it easy for users to understand and use
    • Considers visual presentation, grouping, and categorization of information
    • Supports users in finding their way around the site or app (wayfinding)

    Wayfinding

    • Process of helping users navigate and orient themselves within a digital space
    • Involves providing clear cues, such as signs, labels, and visual elements, to guide users
    • Helps users understand where they are and where to go

    Wireframes

    • Simple, skeletal layouts that outline the placement of key elements on a webpage or screen
    • Integrate interface, navigation, and information design
    • Level of detail depends on the team's needs
    • Successful wireframes emerge from collaboration and guide the team's work
