What is the core feature? • Who is our target? • What user gains? • What are the goals and motivations of a user? • In what context your application will be used? analysis
the most important features • search for different approaches, do not stop at one, even if you like it • investigate a variety of solutions everyone draws 4, 2 i 1 version; after: one final together • if you don’t know what to do, then draw whatever the most important is to think aloud and draw it • if you get confused, start from the beginning
about user as a busy and “mobile” man • simplify as much as you can • one main feature per screen • the fewer steps in navigation, the better • don’t duplicate the functionality (but group logically) • use global applications (mental model) good advice
a human-made object Definition by Jakoba Nielsen: Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency? Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors? Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?
the participation of users (from the initial interview until the final tests) • user needs and behavior are the basis for a information and navigation hierarchy • business objectives, functionality and technological capabilities are secondary User Centered Design – users are involved in the design process to identify their needs, constraints and goals
going on Feedback – I see the effects of my actions Constraints – I know why I’m not able to act Mapping – I know where I am and how I get around Consistency –I recognize similar elements of the system Afordance – I know what to do heuristics
the phone numbers 506 96 80 97). Step-by-step navigation is usually better • We get lost ourselves in a “deep navidation” systems • We have difficulty with an effective selection of the more than 3-4 variants information limit
