INTERACTION DESIGN As being a designer I always try to design something new, creative and interactive. Most of the people think that designers are born to modify and beautify things, which is totally wrong designers give directions of living; they transform the ugly into beautiful things. I have a deep interest in aesthetics and that I am tackling with the concept of aesthetics on a daily basis, in words as well as in drawings, movies, prototypes and other artifacts of interaction design. In this era

I. Introduction Since the dawn of the aviation era, cockpit design has become increasingly complicated owing to the advent of new technologies enabling aircraft to fly farther and faster more efficiently than ever before. With greater workloads imposed on pilots as fleets modernize, the reality of he or she exceeding the workload limit has become manifest. Because of the unpredictable nature of man, this problem is impossible to eliminate completely. However, the instances of occurrence can
A good web interface design is an important factor that helps users “interact” with computers. In the present, web interfaces need to be presented and designed in a way in which it can be easily received by the user. In the design field, the elements users see on a computer screen such as the text, graphics and icons etc. make up the interface of a web page (Dabbs, 2002) . Users rely on the interface to complete online tasks and interact with computers and maintaining consistency is an arguably important
As a group, we believe that the Software Design Model to be used is the V model. This model takes the approach of tackling every stage of development, completing it and testing it before moving on to the next stage. Yes, it is a time consuming process but it is suitable for small projects such as designing this phone app. It also gives the advantage of discovering any problems early so they can be rectified. We should take on the same methodical approach for the phone app testing each stage of
“ten commandments” of Dieter Rams concerning what a good design is or should be summarizes the essentials of a good design. What this paper seeks to do is to analyze and scrutinize these statements alongside Dieter Rams’ speech, discussing whether these principles capture what a good design is and what is not, making modifications to the principles where necessary.

is allowing the user to be aware of particular user or performance errors that may stop a particular command from being completed. The dialogue of the system is easy to understand in clear and concise language, which leaves the user with the understanding of what needs to be done next. For example, when the vehicle is low on fuel, there is a message that displays advising the driver that they are low and fuel and how much further they have until they will need to refuel.

in end user involvement in design process and outcome Intro In this review I will be discussing what the advantage and disadvantages are of using user-centred design in the design process.

The term user-centred design is used to describe design processes in which the end user, consumer or customer is involved in and has a direct influence on the design. (Abras & Maloney-Krichmar & Preece, 2004: 1). This review will discuss the question of whether involving the end user in the design process is in fact helpful, or not. A set of five articles will be discussed to evaluate the user’s involvement in the design process. The five articles referred to are as follows; Authors Oygur and
