As we get started on our design project,
0:00
here are a few principles that
will be helpful to keep in mind.
0:03
Don't limit yourself to
just these principles.
0:07
But this will get you to focus on a few
things as you're making design decisions
0:09
about how to design the user
experience and interface.
0:13
User should not have to wonder
whether different word situations or
0:17
actions mean the same thing?
0:20
Therefore you should design interfaces
to have similar operations and
0:23
use similar elements for
achieving similar tasks.
0:27
For example, when you're designing
a select function in an app, users should
0:30
use the same operation to select
objects throughout the entire app or
0:34
make sure that the layout and
interactions are consistent throughout.
0:38
Layout is important for
creating meaningful and
0:43
useful experiences in a product.
0:46
As a person scans a page of information,
they form an understanding
0:48
about what a product can do for them and
what they can do using your services.
0:52
As a designer your goal is to
help that learning process and
0:57
to motivate interaction.
1:01
The design should be thoughtfully
organized with related features
1:03
content areas appropriately grouped,
instead of forcing people to jump back and
1:06
forth around different areas
to perform a single task.
1:11
In order to gain
the confidence of your users,
1:15
you need to earn it by doing
what you say you're going to do.
1:17
Setting people's expectations
appropriately and following through.
1:21
One of the primary goals of experience
design is to make things efficient for
1:25
people before making things efficient for
the computer.
1:29
[SOUND] Efficiency allows for
productivity and reduced effort and
1:32
a streamlined design allows more to
get done in the same amount of time.
1:36
Creating efficiency demonstrates a great
deal of respect for your customers.
1:41
And they'll be sure to notice.
1:46
We'll be revisiting these principles later
as you begin to design your mobile app and
1:48
start making design decisions.
