PRINCIPLES OF INTERACTION DESIGN (According to Don Norman)
1.Visibility:
2.Affordances:
3.Significants or signifiers:
4.Mapping:
5.Feedback:
6.Conceptual models:
7.Constrictions:
8.Consistency:
DESIGN RULES (According to Don Norman)
- Deliver rich, complex and natural signals
- Be predictable
- Offer a conceptual model
- Make the result understandable.
- Offer continuous awareness that does not disturb.
- Use natural correspondences so that the interaction is effective and understandable.
8 GOLDEN RULES OF INTERFACE DESIGN (Ben Sheiderman)
1.Strive for consistency: knowing that something is coherent or not is very subjective. When something is incoherent, the user does not use it and looks for
alternatives.
2.Universal Usability Search: Regardless of the user characteristics, the design can be used and regardless of the system and hardware with which one is working, it is universal.
3.Informative feedback sample:When you are designing any element, if the user interacts with it, there must be information.
4.Dialogues for closing action: Every time you end the interaction, the user
must be informed of this end. Ex: “Purchase Made”.
5.Error prevention:Where it is seen that the user tends to make errors, we try to prevent future errors. (Ex: Are you sure you want to delete this file?)
6.Easy stock reversal:Ex. Ctrl + Z,remove units from the shopping cart.
7.Maintenance of control by users: It is important that the user feels that they have control. How do you know this? → Testing.
8.Reduced short-term memory load: That the user does not have to constantly remember information.
