Study Notes
User Interface Design Principles
-
3 Golden Rules:
- Place the user in control
- Reduce the memory load
- Make the interface consistent
User Interface Analysis and Design
-
4 different models:
- User Model
- Design Model
- User Mental Model/System Perception
- Implementation Model
Interface Analysis
- Focus on the user, their tasks, content presented in the interface, and their environment
-
User Characteristics:
- Identify their profession, education level, technical skills, age, gender, work hours, experience with the subject matter, and language proficiency.
- Determine the consequences of using the interface incorrectly.
Task Analysis and Modeling
-
Techniques:
- Use Cases
- Task Elaboration
