Points on usability: eliminate pagination
filed inCreative
Is pagination good usability? Obviously it depends on the use, but from a user experience view it’s generally not good usability. So why is it so common?
Navigation priority
filed inCreative
It’s a common practice to prioritize navigation into a primary navigation with essential functions and divert other information to less prominent navigation.
The case for interface simplicity
filed inCreative
I hate the design of my alarm clock. The top surface is cluttered with a bewildering array of buttons and sliders—some buttons are randomly located on the side, and for some reason there’s a built-in CD player with even more buttons and controls. For me, the ideal alarm clock would: display the time without blinding me at night; allow me to set the alarm in the dark with ease; and let me turn off the alarm while I’m still only half-conscious. In the end all the ’extra features’ get in the way of the primary purpose.
