Top 8 UI Principles Flashcards
Naturalness
Users should be able to access controls and use the device in a way that feels natural
Consistency
The look, feel, behavior of all elements should be consistent and easy to use. This makes the app more learnable from page to page for the user.
Friendliness
User-friendly interfaces help avoid scenarios that result in errors for the user
Interaction
Guides out a user engages with an interface. The interface should offer convenient functions, features, services, and parity
Parity
Digital Designs that mirror real-world designs. Recognizable designs make the interface more learnable for the user
Transparency
Include only the essentials and avoid clutter
Strong Visual Hierarchy
Hierarchy allows the user to seamlessly move from one interface element to another and communicates which components onscreen are the most important
Step-by-step information flow
Screens should only show relevant and necessary information at the appropriate time
Invisibility
The interface should not distract the user from the user goal. Minimalism is preferred.
