Highlights
Joseph Angelo Todaro introduces a website by John Yablonsky that outlines principles for user interface design.
This principle states that aesthetically pleasing designs are perceived as more usable, supported by a 1995 study on ATM UI by Misaki Kurosu and Kaori Kashimura.
Walter Doherty and Arvind Doni's 1982 research shows productivity increases when computer responses are under 400 milliseconds.
Proposed by Paul Fitts in 1954, it relates the time to acquire a target to its distance and size, influencing design for quick access.
Describes how decision time increases with the number and complexity of choices, based on research by William Edmund Hick and Ray Hyman.
Emphasizes designing based on familiar patterns, introduced by Jakob Nielsen, to ease users into new interfaces.
Humans perceive related elements when they are grouped together, driving design through shared boundaries and visual similarities.
Based on George Miller's research, it suggests chunking information into 5-9 items to match human memory capacity.
In design, prefer simplicity and focus on impactful areas, based on Occam's Razor and the Pareto Principle.
Discusses Parkinson's Law, Postel’s Law, Serial Position Effect, Tesler's Law, the Von Restorff Effect, and the Zeigarnik Effect, each highlighting different aspects of design efficiency and memory.
A thank you to John Yablonsky for the principles and encouragement to subscribe for more content.
