Question 1

(IxD) is the process of creating interactive products and
services in which the designer considers how people will engage with the product.

Answer 1

Interaction Design

Question 2

: A system should be easy to learn for new users, and it should provide feedback that
helps users understand how to use the system.

Answer 2

Learnability

Question 3

• : A system should be flexible enough to accommodate a range of user needs and
  preferences, including different input devices, display sizes, and operating systems.

Answer 3

Flexibility

Question 4

: A system should enable users to complete tasks quickly and easily, without
unnecessary steps or barriers.

Answer 4

Efficiency

Question 5

: A system should be designed so that users can easily remember how to use it even
if they haven’t used it for some time.

Answer 5

Memorability

Question 6

: A system should be designed to minimize the occurrence of errors, but when errors
do occur, they should be easy to understand and recover from

Answer 6

Error handling

Question 7

: A system should be designed to provide a positive user experience that satisfies
the needs and expectations of users.

Answer 7

User satisfaction

Question 8

: A system should be designed to accommodate users with a range of abilities and
disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, and motor impairments.

Answer 8

Accessibility

Question 9

Four Pillars of Design

Answer 9

• User Interface Requirements
• Guidelines, documents and processes
• UI Software Tools
• Expert Reviews and Usability Testing

Question 10

• should be meaningful and simple to understand. They should communicate
  information to users, but not too much information to overwhelm the user.

Answer 10

1D: Words

Question 11

Representations - supplement the words used to communicate information to users.

Answer 11

• 2D: Visual

Question 12

determines the devices that the users will use to interact with the
product.

Answer 12

• 3D: Physical Objects or Space –

Question 13

• refers to media that changes with time (animation, videos, sounds). Motion and
  sounds play a crucial role in giving visual and audio feedback to users’ interactions. Also, of
  concern is the amount of time a user spends interacting with the product: can users track their
  progress, or resume their interaction some time later?

Answer 13

4D: Time

Question 14

includes the mechanism of a product.

Answer 14

5D: Behavior -

Question 15

• colored by attitude, culture, personality, and context. There’s wide variation even in such universal
  and seemingly simple behaviors such as walking

Answer 15

Motion

Question 16

• interaction design involves a combination of physical and analog spaces. You make a gesture in
  physical, analog space—for instance, turning a knob on your stereo—and you see the results on its digital
  display screen.

Answer 16

Space

Question 17

• Some tasks are complicated and take a long time to complete—for instance, searching for and
  buying a product.

Answer 17

Time

Question 18

• can also convey other attributes that may be meaningful: Is the object expensive or cheap?
  Complicated or simple? Daunting or approachable? Single use or enduring? Structured or casual?

Answer 18

Appearance

Question 19

Appearance has many variables for designers to alter:

Answer 19

• proportion
• structure
• size
• shape
• weight
• color (hue, value, saturation)

Question 20

• sensation of an object can provide clues as to how it is to be used

Answer 20

Texture

Question 21

• a small part of most interaction designs, but it can be an important part, especially for ambient
  devices and alerts. Sounds possess many variables that can convey information as well.

Answer 21

Sound

Question 22

Elements of Interaction Design

Answer 22

Sound
Texture
Appearance
Time
Space
Motion

Question 23

Design Principles

Answer 23

Typography
Hierarchy
Perspective
Harmony
Rhythm
Directional movement
Contrast
Balance
Center of interest
Consistency

Question 24

is the thread that ties together elements in a
single design. It also ties together designs across a single
campaign or brand, creating a product that is
distinguishable, usable and effective.

Answer 24

Consistency

Question 25

an area that first attracts attention in a composition. This area is more important when compared to the other objects or elements in a composition. This can be by contrast of values, more colors, and placement in the format.

Answer 25

Center of interest

Question 26

– a feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc. Balance can be symmetrical and evenly balanced, or asymmetrical and unevenly balanced. Objects, values, colors, textures, shapes, forms, etc. can be used in creating balance in a composition.

Answer 26

Balance

Question 27

offers some change in value creating a visual discord in a composition. Contrast shows the difference between shapes and can be used as a background to bring objects out and forward in a design. It can also be used to create an area of emphasis.

Answer 27

Contrast

Question 28

a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position. Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Answer 28

Directional movement

Question 29

a movement in which some elements recur regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music

Answer 29

Rhythm

Question 30

brings together a composition with similar units. If for example your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes, you would stay with those types of lines and not put in just one geometric shape

Answer 30

Harmony

Question 31

created through the arrangement of objects in two-dimensional space to look like they appear in real life. Perspective is a learned meaning of the relationship between different objects seen in space.

Answer 31

Perspective

Question 32

It is essential for a design to have a clear hierarchy, one that is understandable and familiar for the users

Answer 32

Hierarchy

Question 33

The choice of a font style, the color of the text, and the font size are all critical to user experience. If some content is not easily readable or is hurting the eyes, there is a good chance that the users will avoid interacting with it

Answer 33

Typography

Question 34

Types of Fonts

Answer 34

Sans Serif

Question 35

is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size, ability or disability.

Answer 35

Universal Design

Question 36

As the social movements of the 20th Century were gathering momentum, the design industry responded with targeted efforts. Concepts such as barrier-free design, which aspired to remove barriers for disabled people from the built environment, appeared.

Answer 36

Disability Specific Design -

Question 37

- provide more specialized solutions for people with specific requirements. Add-on products, that could make a formerly inaccessible product accessible, were more commonly developed and became more readily available

Answer 37

Assistive Technology

Question 38

- fields such as Human Factors, Ergonomics and other functional design approaches look at the physical anatomy and the behavior of the person and use this information to create designs that fit

Answer 38

User-Centered Design and Human Factors
