HCI & Usability – Week 1 Exercise 1
Good & Bad Design in the Real World
Course Director:
Overview:
Interaction design has become a hot commodity. More and more companies are turning to interactive designers to help them discover ways to improve the products they create. By thinking of all the various ways users will interact with these products, designers can work to improve the usability aspects, thus increasing the potential that people will want to continuing using it. In other words, if it’s hard to figure out, or use, people won’t use it.
THIS EXERCISE IS DUE ON: AS DEFINED BY THE COURSE DIRECTOR ON FSO
Objective:
The purpose of this exercise is to get you thinking about everyday artifacts that we all interact with in the real world. Don’t think computers or phones, think analog or tangible. What makes these things work? More importantly, what makes them work so well?
Instructions:
1. Find 2 examples each of good & bad design in the real world.
2. Take a picture of you interacting with the artifact (optimize for web to reduce file size)
3. Paste each artifact picture into this word document
4. Below each picture identify these things about the artifact shown: (use black text)
• Where the artifact is located (please provide exact location)
• Description of the artifact (what is its purpose or intent)
• What makes it a good or bad design (based on the artifacts intent)
• If good, define how the design supports each usability factor (Jakob Nielsen’s 5)
• If bad, what aspects of the design could be improved to make it more usable?
Submission Requirements:
When you have completed this exercise:
1. Save the entire document, except page one, as a PDF for submission.
2. Verify that all of your information (text & images) was retained
3. Title the PDF: HCI????_1.1_LastName_FirstName.pdf ( ? = numerical YYMM )
4. Create a .zip file of your PDF (smaller file size for upload)
5. Save the zip: HCI????_1.1_LastName_FirstName.zip ( ? = numerical YYMM )
6. Submit this exercise to the FSO platform or as specified by the course director.
