Study Notes

Marquee Tag

Deprecated in HTML5; use CSS for scrolling effects.
Default scroll direction: right to left.
Attributes include width, height, direction (up, down, left, right), behavior (scroll, slide, alternate), scrolldelay, scrollamount, loop (default: infinite), bgcolor, hspace, vspace.

Multimedia Tag

Used to embed video or audio.
Browser automatically adds controls if the tag and media type are supported.
Fallback (alternative) tags are needed for browsers that don't support the main tag(e.g. playing .avi / .mov files if the browser doesn't support it).
Attributes include align (center, left, right), autostart (true/false), loop (true/false or a positive integer- number of times), playcount (for IE, alternate to loop), hidden (true/false), width, height, name, src (URL of media), volume (0-100).

HTML Structure

HTML is a markup language that structures web pages.
Elements enclose content, defining its appearance and behavior.
Elements have opening and closing tags (e.g.,  for paragraph).
Content placed between opening and closing tags forms the element.
Attributes provide extra information about elements.
Example attributes class and id to target elements in style sheets.
A basic HTML document includes a doctype, <html> element that encloses all content, a <head> element containing metadata (character set, viewport settings, title), and a <body> element containing page content.

HTML Text Formatting

Physical tags effect the visual presentation (e.g., bold, italic).
Logical tags convey logical meaning (e.g., important text).
Physical Formatting Tags:  (bold),  (italic),  (underline), <s> (strikethrough), <tt> (teletype), <big> (increase font size),  (decrease font size), <ins> (inserted text), <del> (deleted text), <sub (subscript), <sup (superscript),  (mark/highlight).
Logical Formatting Tags  (important text) and  (emphasized text).

Building a Digital Presence

UX is important for businesses, especially early in development stages.
Tools like wireframing, storyboarding, and prototyping help developers understand customers needs and verify the functionality.
Wireframes are visual mockups to confirm system design.
Storyboards show sequential action a user takes with the system.
Mockups (mid-high fidelity) include design elements, colors, and content.

Elements of Design

The fundamental aspects of visual design include color, line, value, space, shape, form, and texture.
Color creates mood; line directs the eye; value affects lightness/darkness; space creates visual hierarchy; shape defines forms; form implies volume; texture affects appearance/feel.

Sketches and Wireframes

Sketches are quick, freehand drawings to explore design ideas; Wireframes are more formal, presenting the structure of a website.

Creating Simple Wireframes for Websites

Identify goals and user flow.
Determine wireframe size for various screen types.
Sketch user flows with page layouts, buttons, hyperlinks.
Get feedback to improve design clarity, navigation, and content clarity.

Interaction Design

Interaction design is a multidisciplinary field that ensures interactions between humans and devices are successful and enjoyable.
Goal-Driven Design includes design first, separation of design from programming, and focus on user needs (personas).
Usability is extremely important.
Usability includes characteristics like learnability, memorability, efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and enjoyment.

GUI Design

Factors for creating good UIs include usability (easy use and enjoyment), user context and task flows, brand consistency, gamification, and prediction of user needs.

Common Interaction Design Approaches

Goal-driven design focuses on solving user problems and satisfying their needs, preceding technical considerations.
Usability testing identifies issues in tasks involving user's actions.
5 dimensions of interaction design - words, visual representations, physical objects/space, time, and behavior- guide the designer to accommodate a variety of human reactions when interacting with a system.

HCI (Human-Computer Interaction)

HCI is multidisciplinary emphasizing the design of technology and human-computer interaction.
HCI focuses on user, technology, & interaction.
HCI goals include usable, safe, and effective systems.
Concepts like cognitive psychology, mental models, interface metaphors, and affordances are crucial for user understanding and successful interaction design.
