- What makes up interaction design and what are some of the industry’s challenges?
- Worrying about:
- Fragmented user journeys & clever but lazy users
- Trying to get everything on the website/app but making things as easy as possible. You do not want them to get confused using the website or app but you still want to get all of the information onto that page.
- New interaction paradigms
- EX: tapping on social media apps like snapchat
- Fragmented user journeys & clever but lazy users
- Making sure the page is visually attractive
- You want to make sure you are pleasing the users eye.
- How much information you want on your page
- You want to make sure you are putting an equal amount of text and photos on a website. Chances are if the website is all text, your viewer will probably not look at it.
- The simplicity on the page
- Making sure you can function it as easy as possible.
- Making the device looked finish
- When it fits the user at a specific time
- Worrying about:
- What is interaction design, how its evolving. What fields does it draw knowledge from?
- Interaction Designers- find themselves in the unique position of being at the center of several worlds, all of which are presently colliding within the global marketplace. These worlds include industrial design, engineering, psychology, art, and business strategy. All of these elements must be present and well integrated in order to create a successful Interaction Design, and the Interaction Designer often seeks out the role of project manager—in charge of ensuring that all of these fields are adequately represented in the development of a product.
- Good design is as little design as possible
- Users should not have to think about the design. It should feel natural.
- Interaction Design- is the design of interactive products and services in which a designer’s focus goes beyond the item in development to include the way users will interact with it. Thus, close scrutiny of users’ needs, limitations and contexts, etc. empowers designers to customize output to suit precise demands.
- Different Fields:
- Interaction
- Graphic
- Photography
- Multimedia
- Interior
- Advertising
- Film
- Design shapes behavior
- There should be a meaningful relationship between the person and the thing.
