(Graphical) design for dummies

We had Annika from our offices in Stavanger in yesterday. She talked about graphical design - general guidelines and hints for us “mere mortals”. She also touched in on interaction design (the flow of action on the screen).

Other points were “quality of use”; 1) Usability, efficiency and user satisfaction; avoiding visual noise; choices of color.

Almost everything she told us was more like common sense, also in that you usually don’t recognize it until someone point it out. She also presented cases; before vs. after, from interaction design to graphical design, and some insight into how to do usability tests. The latter touched on labs, eye tracking and professional interviewers - but also on how to perform low- or no-budget testing.
