Q

How does size and depth add visual weight to our designs?

A

We notice things that are close to us and in the digital word, bigger things are perceived to be closer.

If you use blur effects or shadows it just makes the perception of depth more realistic.

Q

How should secondary buttons look like? Where should they be placed? When should you use an exception?

A

Secondary buttons should be less visible to prevent accidental or “reflexive” clicks and away from the Axis of Interaction.

The exception to this rule is when counter-productive actions are important, like deleting your account. Those actions should get a primary style (ideally red, orange, yellow, etc) but a secondary position in the layout to allow the user time to think before acting.

Q

There are three important places on the page where we can expect to find explicit statements of what the site is about, what are they? Explain where you would place them.

A

The tagline - a phrase (6 - 8 words) that’s visually connected to the ID

Welcome blurb - the welcome blurb is a terse description of the site, displayed in a prominent block on the home page, usually at the top left or center of the content space so it’s the first thing that catches your eye.

Learn more - a short explanatory video is a great way to provide further explanation about the site/ product.

A

Functional requirements describe what a software system should do. What does the user need to do in order to reach their objective?

74
Q

How do you generate functional requirements?

A

Be sure to focus on the needs, not the solutions.

Conduct contextual user scenarios - short, simple narratives that describe how someone might go about fulfilling a need

75
Q

What are non-functional requirements?

A

Non-functional requirements place constraints on how the software system will do a task. The user will conduct a task - how will the system handle that task?

The “how” plane; How much content is there? How is it organized? How is it prioritized? Interaction Design and Architecture happen now.

79
Q

What are the five essential principles of Interaction Experience Design (IXD)?

A 
Consistent
Predictable
Learnable
Visible
Feedback
80
Q

Why is providing feedback after every interactive action important?

A

Q

Error messages should accomplish the following things:

A

Describe what happened
Explain why it happened
Suggest a fix
Never blame the user

82
Q

What is information architecture (IA)?

A

IA is about the organization, grouping, ordering, and presentation of content.

It is also the creation of organizational and navigation schemes.

83
Q

What are six different organizational and navigation schemes?

A 
Hierarchical Tree
Nested list
Hub and spoke
Sequential structures
Bento box (dashboard)
Filters
84
Q

When providing filters, what important considerations must you undertake in regards to attributes?

A

It’s our job - not the users - to identify the specific attributes of the information that will be most useful, usable, and valuable to our users.

85
Q

What is the skeleton plane?

A

The optimized organization of all on-screen elements starts to take shape here through Interface Design and Navigation Design

86
Q

What three important things are we doing on the skeleton plane?

A

We’re giving users the ability to see the structure

We’re giving them a way to move through it

We’re giving them a way to act on what they see

87
Q

Complete this statement: The number of functions available on screen has a direct effect on how useful the product is. The more functions shown, …

A

The less useful they are

88
Q

What are design conventions?

A

Conventions are a series of colors, shapes, patterns, layouts, and/or font styles that have over time come to universally represent a concept.

89
Q

Complete this statement: No matter how technically superior the code is or how deep it’s functionality, the bottom line is

A

An app or site whose interface is difficult to use won’t be used

90
Q

What things can you do to improve predictability within your site/app?

A

Provide labels, instructions, icons, and/or images that set expectations about what the user can do and what will happen.

91
Q

What things can you do to improve consistency within your site/app?

A

Ensure similar parts are expressed in similar ways by using the same interactions, behaviors, and visual styles throughout the entire site, app, or system.

92
Q

Items that are functionally or logically connected should be…

A

Grouped together visually

93
Q

In what order should information be presented?

A

Only the necessary or requested information should be displayed at any given time, in order of importance to the user.

94
Q

What does Hick’s law state?

A

Every additional choice increases the time required to make a decision

95
Q

Why is Hick’s law important?

A

Because the more choice you give people, the easier it is to choose nothing

96
Q

What is information scent?

A

Visual or textual cues provided on a website that suggest what information it or its links may contain.

97
Q

Why is it important to understand information scent?

A

Because people typically estimate - based on what they see - how much useful information they’re likely to find on a given path.

98
Q

What other methods besides navigation bars provide wayfinding?

A

Search, filters, tags, and contextual links can all be used to find information

99
Q

In order for navigation and links to be meaningful they must be…

A

Visible, findable, and informative

100
Q

What are some different organizational methods?

A 
Alphabetical
Categorical
Magnitude (i.e lowest to highest, worst to best, etc)
Location
Time
101
Q

Articles on the web, with the exception of technical or academic articles, should follow which format?

A

The inverted pyramid format

102
Q

What are the three components, in order, to the inverted pyramid?

A

Most critical information first
Helpful (but not critical) information second
Nice to know (unnecessary) information last

103
Q

What does Occam’s razor state?

A

The simplest solution is usually best

104
Q

What is a wireframe?

A

A wireframe is a skeleton of a screen which displays the functional elements of a website or page.

105
Q

Wireframes should communicate what four things?

A

Placement of elements on the screen
Labeling of those elements
Navigation scheme
Functionality, behavior and feedback

106
Q

What should wireframes not show?

A

Colors
Typography
Images
Visual style of any kind

107
Q

What is the surface plane?

A

This is the user interface and all things visual to aid them in using the product/site/app: fonts, colors, styling, animation.

108
Q

Why is it important to have a clear visual hierarchy?

A

Clear visual hierarchy enables consistency, cleary signifies relationships, and improves navigation

109
Q

Why is it important to economize visual design?

A

Because by only including the elements that are critical to communication and are immediately relevant to the task at hand we can decrease cognitive load on the user.

110
Q

What type of fonts should we avoid? Why?

A

Decorative fonts

Decorative fonts interfere with pattern recognition in the brain

111
Q

What is the fundamental difference between visual design and decoration?

A

Visual design helps us understand things better

Decoration deals with aesthetics

112
Q

What are the four basic principles to visual design?

A

Alignment
Proximity
Repetition
Contrast

113
Q

Why is alignment important?

A

Alignment provides cognitive stability by creating visual relationships.

114
Q

Why is proximity important in regards to visual design?

A

Elements visually close to each other are perceived as a single group, related by context of use

115
Q

What design element allows us to create proximity?

A

Negative space

116
Q

When evaluating visual design, what is repetition concerned with and why is it important?

A

Repetition is used to create a hierarchy of visual styles - fonts, colors, textures, and graphical elements

Re-using elements of those visual styles in visual elements creates cohesiveness

117
Q

In visual design, what is contrast and why is it important?

A

Contrast draws attention towards specific elements

Whatever element has the most contrast will be the first thing users notice

118
Q

What do successful implementations of eye flow patterns achieve?

A

They provide a guided tour of what’s available - without overwhelming detail. Those available choices support the person’s goals and tasks.

119
Q

How do you create a visual design that enables users to easily scan the page?
