Let’s dig in to why this is such entertainingly bad design….Before we dive into the theory of design — browse here for more examples of awful design.Back? It’s important to understand why good design is so important. People make subtle design mistakes when designing everyday objects constantly. As Don Norman says in the Design of Everyday Things:“Design is really an act of communication, which means having a deep understanding of the person with whom the designer is communicating.”Most designers don’t design things for people. They design solutions to their own problems (i.e. I want to make attractive things, I want to finish this project etc). When Don wrote DoET he was speaking about kettles, microwaves, and doors. But the same applies to User Interfaces, public transportation systems and the (...)

A compilation of the most important points from the most important points from “The Bible Of Design”I recently finished reading ‘The #design Of Everyday Things’ by Don Norman.As someone not very well acquainted with design, it was extremely eye opening and described many strategies to improve the design of everyday things (weren’t expecting that were you).In fact, it was only after reading it that I learnt that the book has been dubbed the ‘Bible of usability’.To consolidate my knowledge and not forget what I read, I decided to compile a list of the most important learnings from the book.Below is a list of rules that every designer should know, and has the potential to make you a much better designer.body[data-twttr-rendered="true"] background-color: transparent;.twitter-tweet margin: auto (...)

In 1993, Apple hired its first User Experience Architect, Don Norman. Today, Norman is considered to be the father of human-centered design — also known as user experience design.He even coined the term ‘user experience.’ Norman explains, “I invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the person’s experience with the system including industrial design, graphics, the interface, the physical interaction, and the manual.”User experience isn’t just important for B2C companies like Apple. It’s equally crucial for B2B products and services, like company software programs. Just as Apple products need to be pleasant and easy-to-use for consumers, B2B software needs to be pleasant and easy-to-use for individual employees.Standing out (...)

Rich User Experience, #UX and Desktopization of #War

The paradox for me at that time was that Rich User Experience was the name for a reality where user experiences were getting poorer and poorer. You wouldn’t have to think about web or web specific activities anymore.

That’s why designers of today are certain that responsive design was invented in 2010, mixing up the idea with coining the term; though it was there from at least 1994.

UX is not new, the term is fully fledged. It was coined by Don Norman in 1993 when he became a head of Apple’s research group: “I invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the person’s experience with the system including industrial design graphics, the interface, the physical interaction and the manual.”9
Recalling this in 2007, he added: “Since then the term has spread widely, so that it is starting to lose its meaning.” Other prophets are complaining for years already that not everybody who calls themselves “experience designer” actually practices it.
