Study Notes
Gestalt principles
- Gestalt theory is about human perception
- Key players in Gestalt theory include Max Wertheimer, Wolfgang Kohler, and Kurt Koffka
- The Gestalt theory includes seven UI principles
- Proximity - group related elements close together to imply a relationship
- Closure - the human eye quickly fills the gaps and helps us to find the meaning and intention of a particular thing.
- Similarity - elements with similar properties are considered to be more related than those with different properties.
- Continuation - the human eye follows lines, curves, or a sequence of shapes.
- Symmetry - elements that are moving together tend to be perceived as a unified group
Human & Brain
- People can remember about 7(plus/minus 2) items in short-term memory
- The human brain is not optimized for the abstract thinking and data memorization that websites often demand.
- Human working memory holds information relevant to the current task
Human Computer Interface (HCI)
- HCI is a field of science that studies the design and use of computer technology
- The field of HCI focuses on the interfaces between people and computers
- Important aspects of HCI include: designing, evaluating, and implementing interactive computer systems that satisfy the user
- HCI aims to understand the factors that determine how people use technology and develop tools and techniques to enable building suitable systems
Why do we care about UI?
- Attract and acquire customers
- Enhance customer retention
- Lower the cost
- Customer Satisfaction
- Successful business
UI vs UX vs Frontend Developer
- UX - user experience designers combine research and design skills to create ideas, designs, and solutions for the user
- UI - UI designers combine technical and design skills to make something look good and function in a browser
- Frontend - front end developers develop user-facing features, optimize web pages, use programming, algorithms, web and database architecture in their role
UI Design Process
- Developing the graphical interface of a digital product
- Deliver Moodboard
- Document the style guide
- Prototype design
- Testing usability of the prototype
