Study Notes
Human-Centered Design
- UX designers consider various factors when making a product, including user needs and goals.
Input Devices and Interfaces
- The mouse has difficult attributes that support certain forms of interfaces, such as graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
Design Principles
- The golden rule of design states that the user's needs should come first.
System Performance
- Usability refers to how easily and efficiently a system can be used to achieve a particular goal.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Understanding humans is crucial in HCI because it enables designers to create systems that are tailored to human needs and capabilities.
Cognitive Psychology
- Miller's law of short-term memory states that the magic number is 7 ± 2, which is the average capacity of human short-term memory.
- Chunking is a technique used to break down information into smaller, more manageable groups to aid memory.
Typography and Web Design
- Legibility refers to the ease with which written text can be read and understood.
- Readability refers to the ease with which written text can be read and understood on the web, taking into account factors such as font size, style, and layout.
- Using a reasonably large default font size is important in web design to ensure that text is readable and accessible.
System Performance
- effectiveness refers to how good a system is at doing what it is supposed to do.
Image Processing
- Edge detection through contrast intensification is primarily used to enhance the visibility of edges and boundaries in images.
