Software concept revolution: the essence of interaction design




After turning it over, I found that I am not very interested in the interaction design, so I leave it to a more professional interaction designer to study it. I just noted down the following notes:

Knowledge System
4 P

This summary is very common and can be mapped to many things, like:

Ø

Process
, Process, the whole design process. My understanding, such as some common processes.

Ø

Pattern
, Mode, and some methodology for solving the problem. For example, user research.

Ø

Principles
, Principles, and rules for usage. For example, "Do not let users think ".

Ø

Practices
, Practice, put the above

Specific theory, find the best practices of the product and team, each time will be different. In addition, there are also the impact of peripheral teams related to products, so do not let non-core mistakes break down the major issues.

Three models of the product:

Ø

A realistic model that describes how a product works.

Ø

The psychological model expresses how users understand it.

Ø

The presentation model, that is, the designer model, is how the designer presents the reality to the user. It should be as close as possible to the user's psychological model, but the corresponding workload will also increase.

Notes for user interviews and observations:

Ø

Interview where interaction occurs:
It is important to observe the use of products by users, but most of the time we did not go to the field for interviews due to cost considerations.

Ø

Avoid a set of fixed problems:
A fixed problem will make the respondent feel interrogated. We should prepare a list of problems, but the list is only a guiding function and does not need to be read as instructed.

Ø

First, focus on the target, and second, the task:
What is more important than user behavior is the reason behind the behavior. Ask more why.

Ø

Avoid making users a designer:
Listen to the user, but do not follow the instructions. The user's solution is usually short and one-sided.

Ø

Avoid discussing technology:
Especially for users who have a little understanding of technology, do not tangle with the product implementation methods.

Ø

Encourage storytelling:
Stories are the best way to help designers understand users.

Ø

Avoid induced problems:
Typical induction problem: Will you use this function? In general, the user will give a meaningless positive answer.

I borrowed this book from Zhe tu, but I found that

So I added some new things, for example, a lot of images have been updated, and the software version used for the example has also been upgraded.

The word, but the whole is still similar.

As a quasi-product manager, I have always said that I am forced to do some interactive design tasks in the company, and interactive design is so professional and in-depth, so it also means being forced to make a lot of interactive design errors, so we have to read some books and articles to make as few mistakes as possible.

In the past two or three years, I have read the following books:

Interactive Design path

Again
In my opinion, this looks like
About face
This is easy to use;

《

Gui
Design taboos




It is more practical and "skillful", and may be more suitable for front-line Interaction designers. However, this piece of knowledge develops too fast.
2005
You must be careful when reading the translated books in years;

Availability Project




Generally, it is more theoretical. Some general principles, like teaching materials, are worthy of careful taste;

Clear at a glance




,
Dianshi chengjin




(That is, the famous
《

Don't make me think
"




These two are small books. They look easy and pleasant. They are done in half a day, and they are relatively new. We recommend that you flip them over.

It is found that all the English documents are translated in the Chinese version. Therefore, it is recommended that you read the original version to take the leading role in domestic thinking.
