Today's interactive systems are becoming increasingly complex. To build a successful and integrated human interface, interface designers must gather user input at all stages of design, particularly in the initial stages when the tasks of the system are defined.
By involving users of the potential system throughout the design process, interface designers can direct system development to meet the needs of users. An interface design team made up of professionals from different disciplines and with varying skills, including graphic design, psychology, and software expertise, helps to ensure an interface that meets the needs of its potential users.
The best way to learn how to design interfaces is to practice building them. This 2-day class provides hands-on experience through exercises in interface construction, including task analysis, techniques for visualization and rapid prototyping, usability testing, and design iteration. Class lectures cover methods and approaches to user-centered interface design. Step-by-step guidelines for interface design and prototyping are presented with example interfaces drawn from the instructor's experience. |
