Editor's Notes
- UX is how someone uses it.
- UX is how someone uses it.
- Keep it consistent unless you’ve a read not to. Consistent within your app, consistent with the platform.
- No contrast between news items.
- A small addition of more contrast on alternating rows scrolling long list easier.
- Guide the users eye
- Design a guided tour
- Squint test
- Using colour and contrast to create a visual hierarchy.
- The green areas are the tools which handle drawing
- When do you ever eat your dinner with a Swiss Army Knife?
- Flexible is not necessarily bad, just different.
- A different way to look at things. What do you need and when?
- Know where your app lives on this chart
- Other examples: iPhoto vs Photoshop
- What is the experience you want to deliver? Designing something is like being the host of a party. You set up everything as best you can, and hope it all works as expected.
- If your app requires content to succeed, decide how to handle first use. Couldn’t this have 5 starting videos?
- An expenses application. Often used offline when travelling abroad.
- Use to organise content, and understand people’s mental model of apps.
- How to understand is this the right approach. Especially useful in areas where you are very different than your audience.
- Testing higher-fidelity prototypes, to refine interactions, and catch major usability issues.
