the interaction

interaction patterns

Editor's Notes

  1. I design and develop experiences that make people’s lives simple
  2. 50K + download and 600+ songs
  3. How
  4. Are they the same thing? Are they different things? What’s the difference between UI and UX Design? Which one’s right for you? How do you learn it and what the heck are they? How it looks = Interface = Visual design How it feels = experience = non visual design UI and UX are two terms that are often conflated together, but they are actually separate fields that overlap. UI designer might be focusing more on form and aesthetics, on the look and feel and the organization of the information UX designer might concentrate much more on how the interface feels, but on the navigation and the structure and the story of the whole site or app. Example can be button Design of the button Different state of the button. (loading, processing)
  5. According to Garrett in The Elements of the User Experience, UX can be understood in five primary planes What is the problem you are trying to solve? What are your user needs? How does your product fit within a business context (product objectives)?
  6. How might you solve the problems through your platform? What are the features, and how might you prioritize them?
  7. ideas should begin to form a structure. concerned with how the information within an app is organized, and how users cognitively process the information. User flows map out the specific journeys users embark on through the app to help solve their specific need. It’s concerned with the most logical steps for your users to gratify their needs.
  8. ideas should begin to form a structure. concerned with how the information within an app is organized, and how users cognitively process the information. User flows map out the specific journeys users embark on through the app to help solve their specific need. It’s concerned with the most logical steps for your users to gratify their needs.
  9. The skeleton plane seeks to achieve the structure of an interface design and information design. Interface design is concerned with the arrangement of specific interface elements to enable users to interact with the functionality of a system, while information design is concerned with the presentation of information in a way that facilitates understanding. you’ll find UX or Product Designers designing, testing, and iterating on wireframes
  10.  Empathy mapping: tool used to articulate what we know about a particular type of user. It externalizes user knowledge in order to create a shared understanding, and aid in decision making. Customer journey maps: visualization of the process that a person goes through in order to accomplish a goal tied to a specific business or product. It’s used for understanding and addressing customer needs and pain points. Experience Mapping: visualization of an entire end-to-end experience that a “generic” person goes through in order to accomplish a goal. This experience is agnostic of a specific business or product. It’s used for understanding a general human behavior (as opposed to a customer journey map, which is more specific and focused on related to a specific business). Service Blueprinting: visualizes the relationships between different service components — people, props (physical or digital evidence), and processes — that are directly tied to touchpoints in a specific customer journey.
  11. User Journey Uber example
  12. basic principles of UI Design.
  13. example is Facebook’s use of their skeleton loading state.
