What I Already Knew:

  • UX is a group effort. Uses design, business, and technology.
  • Structure: focuses on the overall organization and architecture of the project, identify and define the systemic structure and finality
  • There are methods to design thinking which are
    • Observe and empathize
    • Explore and create
    • Build and deliver
    • Iterate and improve

What I Didn’t Know:

  • Five dimensions of interaction design
    • Words (content)- easy to understand, written to effectively communicate information
    • Visual representations- diagrams, illustrations, graphics, and even typographic styles and media to clarify data and concepts
    • Physical objects or space- the physical hardware, such as keyboard, mouse, or smartphone and the space necessary to use it
    • Time- the time during which people interact with the product and how they might measure their progress
    • Behavior- the actions, reactions, and emotions people have when interacting with a product
  • Scent of information: derived from information foraging theory, this is how people can predict what they will find if they follow a path or flow through a product
  • Structure has three levels:
    • Product- overall architecture defines all of their sections, the purpose of each, and navigation and connections among them
    • Screen- what should be where on each page or screen, what appears on all or multiple screens, placement can communicate importance, relationships, and functionality
    • Component- define the content and interactivity of individual elements on the screen like text, media controls, or navigation systems

What I Want to Know More About:

I want to know more about structuring designs in a proper way and more about interaction design.Screen Shot 2019-03-14 at 8.21.21 AM (2).png
