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
- Object Elaboration
- Workflow Analysis
- Hierarchical Representation
Analysis of Display Content
- Content may be generated internally, acquired from a database, or transmitted externally.
Interface Design Steps
- Steps:
- Define interface objects and actions
- Identify events that change the state of the user interface
- Depict the representation of each state
- Indicate how the user interprets each state
- Design Issues:
- Response Time
- Help Facilities
- Error Handling
- Menu and Command Labeling
- Application Accessibility
- Internationalization
Interface Design Principles and Guidelines
