::02102012::

First class with En Juhazren.
Today we learn about interaction design;which is how the courseware interact to the user.

There are 3 essential elements:

a) ORGANIZATION

b) NAVIGATION
interaction design relate to the navigation system. So what is navigation?

Anyway, good navigation design will:
– Minimise travel ‐ create the simplest and shortest path between any two points.
– Minimise depth ‐ create a hierarchy with the fewest possible levels.
– Minimise redundancy ‐ avoid creating multiple paths to the same place from the same screen.
