Style does not need to complex, which is why this guide to human-centered style reveals that functionality is simply as essential as looks.
Even the most intelligent amongst us can feel inefficient as we stop working to determine which light switch or oven burner to switch on, or whether to press, pull, or move a door.
The fault, argues this innovative– even liberating– book, lies not in ourselves, however in item style that neglects the requirements of users and the concepts of cognitive psychology. The issues vary from uncertain and covert controls to approximate relationships in between controls and functions, combined with an absence of feedback or other support and unreasonable needs on memorization.
The Style of Everyday Things reveals that great, functional style is possible. The guidelines are basic: make things noticeable, make use of natural relationships that pair function and control, and make smart usage of restrictions. The objective: guide the user easily to the ideal action on the ideal control at the correct time.
The Style of Everyday Things is an effective guide on how– and why– some items please clients while others just annoy them.
