week 6 - Yau Fen Nie



- User Centred Design -

Human perception - Chunking, visual variables, gestalt principle
Graphic design guidelines - simplicity, contrast, white space, balance, alignments

simplicity, process of elimination. simplicity is NOT simple!!
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"--Albert Einstein

chunking -> elements of perceptions + memory = chunks

contrast - differences along a visual dimension (size/color)

visual variables - used for communication. 2 ways, selectivity & associativity

User Centred Design (UCD) - shift focus from designer to user. UCD --> Participating Design
