Interactive Design, Assignment 2: UW Libraries Mobile Application
Designing mobile applications is interesting because it forces the designer to create a useful experience in a very small space, and with the uderstanding that while the user wants information, they are most likely trying to access it on the move, and therefore need to be able to get to what they want in a minimal amount of time and interaction. Efficiency and simplicity are the name of the game. Menus cannot be too deep, buttons cannot be too small. I created the site map and wire frames with an eye on allowing a person to access the information they need in a minimal amount of clicks, and in an environment that would allow them to use the application while walking down the street or on a bumpy bus ride – minimizing accidental clicks.
