1. IxD Principles<\/h2>\n

a. Design Values:<\/h4>\n

Ethical:<\/strong> It does no harm, and hopefully improves situations
\nPurposeful:<\/strong> It helps people accomplish goals. It is appropriate o
\nthe user’s context
\nPragmatic:<\/strong> it achieves business goals and fits within constraints
\nElegant:<\/strong> It provides the simplest complete solution
\nIt engages the emotions appropriately<\/p>\n

b. Conceptual Principles:<\/h4>\n

How do we address the needs of both beginning users and expert users with a single, coherent interface?<\/p>\n

\nOptimize for intermediates<\/strong>
\nEncourage users to skip<\/strong> beginner phase\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

c. Behavioural Principles:<\/h4>\n

Optimize the experience by clarifying information and minimizing<\/strong> work in the following areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Cognitive Work<\/li>\n
  • Memory Work<\/li>\n
  • Visual Work<\/li>\n
  • Physical Work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    d. Interface-level Principles:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Don’t think of your product as a computer<\/li>\n
    • Integrate your hardware and software design<\/li>\n
    • Let context drive the design<\/li>\n
    • Use modes judiciously, if at all<\/li>\n
    • Limit the scope<\/li>\n
    • Balance navigation with display density<\/li>\n
    • Customize for your platform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. GUI metaphors<\/h2>\n

      \"gui-metaphors\"<\/p>\n

      3. Design Patterns<\/h2>\n

      \"design-patterns\"<\/p>\n

      4. Best Practices<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Design based on user scenarios<\/li>\n
      • Interfaces should anticipate user behaviour<\/li>\n
      • Guide but do not dictate user experience<\/li>\n
      • Navigation should indicate where the user is<\/li>\n
      • Progress from simple to complex (Undesired complexity confuses user)<\/li>\n
      • Prevent users from making errors (ex. electrical sockets)<\/li>\n
      • Provide affordances for interactive elements
        \n(Elements should look like what they are)<\/li>\n
      • Focus should be on content, not format or navigation<\/li>\n
      • Don\u2019t make users wait, wondering<\/li>\n
      • Give the user control over the pace of the interaction<\/li>\n
      • Let the user decide their needs, accommodate the user<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
