Let’s suppose that you have in charge the task of developing interfaces for an interactive system (web site, mobile application, etc.).
Sketch out the main steps that you would ultimately include in your design process.
is this Q ask to design interface ?
Suppose we are creating a User Interface of an website. User interface should be interactive and user friendly because this is the only part where user have to interact. Following steps should be keep in mind before create an UI:
Good design is innovative:
The possibilities for innovation are not, by any means, exhausted.
Technological development is always offering new opportunities for
innovative design. But innovative design always develops in tandem
with innovative technology, and can never be an end in
itself.
Good design makes a product useful:
A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria,
not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic. Good
design emphasises the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding
anything that could possibly detract from it.
Good design is aesthetic:
The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness
because products we use every day affect our person and our
well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.
Good design makes a product understandable:
It clarifies the products structure. Better still, it can make the
product talk. At best, it is self-explanatory.
Good design is unobtrusive:
Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither
decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore
be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the users
self-expression.
Good design is honest:
It does not make a product more innovative, powerful or valuable
than it really is. It does not attempt to manipulate the consumer
with promises that cannot be kept.
Good design is long-lasting:
It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.
Unlike fashionable design, it lasts many years — even in today’s
throwaway society.
Good design is thorough down to the last
detail:
Nothing must be arbitrary or left to chance. Care and accuracy in
the design process show respect towards the consumer.
Good design is environmentally friendly:
Design makes an important contribution to the preservation of the
environment. It conserves resources and minimises physical and
visual pollution throughout the lifecycle of the product.
Good design is as little design as possible:
Less, but better — because it concentrates on the essential
aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.
Back to purity, back to simplicity.
