The Elements Of UX Flashcards
What are the 5 planes of user experience design, from bottom to top?
Strategy > Scope > Structure > Skeleton > Surface
What is the purpose of the UX design process?
Ensuring that no aspect of your products’s user’s experience happens without your conscious, explicit intent.
When must work on a given plane of UX end?
Before work on the next plane can finish.
Each plane can be split depending on whether you are looking at the web as a platform for BLANK or BLANK.
Functionality or an information medium
Functionality is mainly concerned with what aspects of the UX?
The tasks users are looking to accomplish - the steps users need to take and how they think about completing them
When looking at UX as an information medium we’re mainly concerned with
Allowing users to find, absorb and make sense of the information we provide.
When thinking about the strategy in terms of UX we must consider two things, what are they?
User needs - what our audience wants from the site and how it fits in with their other goals
Product objectives - business goals or other goals
The scope plane is divided into these two elements
Functional specification - detailed feature set
Content requirements - description of various content elements required
The structure plane consists of these 2 elements
Interaction design - defining how the system behaves in response to the user
Information architecture - arrangement of content elements to facilitate human understanding
When the Skelton place is divided it creates these two elements to deal with functionality and info
Interface design - arranging elements to interact with the functionality of the system
Information design - presentation of information in a way which facilitates understanding
The surface plane is only concerned with this, whether we’re looking at functionality or info design
The sensory experience.
