5 principles of Interactive design

- 2. Consistency: Differences in design can draw attention but also distract the users from the message you are trying to communicate. Keeping elements consistent give users the feeling of authenticity.

- 4. Visibility: Good visibility, according to David Hogue’s principles, means that obvious prompts and cues are present, which: • Lead the user through an interaction • Guide them through a series of tasks • Indicate what possible actions are available to them • Communicate the context of the situation.

- 6. Learnability: Even interfaces that are easy to use may require learning, and the more we use them the easier it seems. Learning is also heightened when the interaction behaviors we see imitate those we’re familiar with. We learn behaviors from our experiences across the web, devices, and real-world places and objects. These experiences are what create our expectation and intrinsic assumptions and understanding of how things are supposed to work.

- 8. Predictability: Natoli states “The sense of comfort that is created as a result is a critical factor in keeping people on the site, fully engaged and moving forward. A sense of control – which is a hard- wired cognitive requirement in the brain – speeds task completion and makes people feel good about what they’re using, what they’re doing and what they’ll be able to accomplish.”

- 10. Feedback: Feedback communicates the results of any interaction, making it visible and under- stand able. Its job is to give the user a signal that they (or the product) have succeeded or failed at performing a task.
