Answer 9

Design

Question 10

3 FACTORS IN DESIGN

Answer 10

1. Goals
2. Constraints
3. Trade-off

Question 11

the purpose of the design, who is it for, and why they want it.

Answer 11

Goals

Question 12

consider the material, cost and time.

Answer 12

Constraints

Question 13

the factor that makes you choose which goals or constraint can be relax so others are met. Involves sacrificing another outcome to achieve desirable outcome.

Answer 13

Trade-off

Answer 14

Understand your materials

Question 15

3 THINGS TO UNDERSTAND IN HCI

Answer 15

1. Understand Computers – know the limitation, capacities, tools and platform.
2. Understand People – understand the psychological, social aspect, and human errors.
3. Interaction

Question 16

What is the core message of interaction design?

Answer 16

Put the user first, keep the user in the center and remember the user at the end.

Question 17

5 DESIGNS PROCESS

Answer 17

1. Requirements
2. Analysis
3. Design
4. Iteration and Prototyping
5. Implementing and Deployment

what is wanted and needed.

Answer 18

Requirements

Question 19

the result of observation and interview that brings out the key issues and communicate with later stages of design.

Answer 19

Analysis

Question 20

is the central stage. It is a process of converting abstract ideas and goals into concrete solution and strategies.

Answer 20

Design

Question 21

a cycle of creating, testing, and refining their design.

Answer 21

Iteration and Prototyping

Question 22

the process of creating and deploying of design. Involves code, hardware, and writing documents and manuals.

NOTE: KNOW YOUR USER – the user focus.

Answer 23

KNOW YOUR USER – the user focus.

Question 24

are stories for design.

Answer 24

Scenarios

Question 25

the simplest design representation, but one of the most flexible and powerful.

Answer 25

Scenarios

Question 26

3 USAGES OF SCENARIOS

Answer 26

1. Communicate with other.

3. Express Dynamics

Question 27

CITE 4 USER INTERACTION AT DIFFERENT LEVELS

Answer 27

1. Widget
2. Screen on Windows
3. Navigation within the application
4. Environment

Question 28

In this structure, much of the interaction involves goal-seeking behavior.

Answer 28

Local Structure

Question 29

4 THINGS TO LOOK WHEN LOOKING AT WEBPAGES

Answer 29

1. Knowing where you are
2. Knowing what you can do
3. Knowing where you are going or what will happen.
4. Knowing where you’ve been or what you’ve done.

Question 30

a term that implies that you don’t have knowledge on where you are going or where you have been.

Answer 30

Lost in Hyperspace

Question 31

a structure that shows the ways that various screen, pages, or devices states link to another.

Answer 31

Global Structure (Hierarchical Organization)

Question 32

3 BASIC PRINCIPLE AT THE SCREEN LEVEL RELFECTS IN OTHER AREAS OF INTERACTION

Answer 32

1. Ask – what is user doing?
2. Think – what information is required?
3. Design – form follows function, let the required interaction drive the layout.

Question 33

5 TOOLS FOR LAYOUTING

Answer 33

1. Grouping and Structure – if things logically belong together, we should group them.
2. Order of Groups and Items – match the order on the screen.
3. Decoration – are decorative feature like font style, text, backgrounds, etc.
4. Alignment
5. White Space – are spaces.

Question 34

are the space between letters.

Answer 34

Counter

Question 35

What stage does this entails:
You start somewhere, evaluate it to see how to make it better, change it to make it better and repeat until it can’t get any better.

Answer 35

Iteration and Prototyping

Question 36

What are the Roles of Prototyping?
(4 Process)

Answer 36

1. Design -> 2
2. Prototype -> 3
3. Evaluate -> 4
4. Redesign-> 2

If ok, then we’re done.

Question 37

2 THINGS NEEDED IN ORDER FOR PROTOTYPING TO WORK

Answer 37

1. To understand what is wrong and how to improve.
2. A good start point.
