Tips
The blending of a person’s digital world with their real life, activities,
and needs is the real mobile revolution. It’s a new form of
communication, adopted en masse because of its naturalness to our
daily lives. Consider the following guidelines when you design for
mobile devices:
•Design for multiple screens:
– Identify the devices that you will support.
– Understand the capabilities of each device.
– Create a default reference design for the devices.
– Define rules for content and design adaptation.
– Incorporate web standards and a flexible layout.
• Consider what makes mobile devices unique:
– Explore how touch targets, gestures, and actions can be
used for interactivity.
– Learn how to leverage the device hardware and software
capabilities, such as geo-location, sensors, camera
functions, and messaging.
– Simplify your user interface to accommodate the smaller
screens.
– Don’t count on traditional interface elements, such as
button states that change on mouse-over.
– Consider whether your experience has to support both
portrait and landscape orientation.

3. • Consider context:
– Design experiences that are based on “quick bursts” of
information, which is how people use their mobile
devices.
– Remember that most people use smaller devices one-
handed and tablets with both hands.
• Always prototype:
– Iterate often, and take advantage of user feedback to
improve more quickly. By developing a more agile
process, your concepts will adapt to what users really
need and want. Without prototyping, you may have
limited insight into the effectiveness of your design.
Over the next 5-10 years, more
people will turn to typing on glass
than on a physical keyboard.
