3 Things from HCIs

iOS Design Principles

1. Aesthetic Integrity
• Integrated functionality, appearance & predictable behavior 
2. Consistency
• standards & paradigms people are comfortable with throughout the app
• eg. a key color gives users a strong visual indicator of interactivity, especially in apps that don’t use an abundance of other colors. In Music app, tappable and interactive buttons are red in color. 
3. Direct Manipulation
• multi-touch interface to engage 
4. Feedback
• subtle animation. sounds aren't recommended (people can't always hear their devices)
5. Metaphor
• virtual objects & actions are metaphors for familiar experiences
6. User Control 
• keep it simple & straight forward, predictable & familiar

Android Design Principles

1. Enchant me
• Delight me in surprising ways
• real objects are more fun than buttons and menus
• Let me make it mine
• Get to know me
2. Simplify my life
• Keep it brief
• Pictures are faster than words
• Decide for me but let me have the final say
• Only show what I need when I need it
• I should always know where i am
• Never lose my stuff
• If it looks the same, it should act the same
• Only interrupt me if it's important.
3. Make me amazing
• Give me tricks that work everywhere
• It's not my fault
• Sprinkle encouragement
• Do the heavy lifting for me
• Make important things fast

Something that I have to remember

Always keep to the recommended resolutions, displays, dimensions. 

See you in class.
