Tabs Tabs Tabs

After reviewing the interrogate an interface projects, I found that the use of tabs, brief but thorough descriptions, and a logical flow of content are all components I wish to include in my own project.

The interface project I focused on during class, Haiku Deck,  provided headings which made specific content sections noticeable. However, I favored the projects that had these sections in separate tabs. Instead of scrolling through to find a specific portion of information, the tabs were much easier to navigate. So, with usability in mind, this is something I plan on incorporating on my project.

Additionally, the Haiku Deck project did and excellent job of providing brief but thorough descriptions of the interface and its capabilities. It gave concise descriptions of the affordances and constraints that the author found as she worked her way through the interface. I plan on including this in my project because I think it makes the evaluation seem professional and aids in the overall understating of the interface.

Lastly, the Haiku Deck project’s content flowed in a very logical manner that made it easy to follow and comprehend. While the writer didn’t necessarily keep writing  for the web in mind, when she wrote about the interface she successfully incorporated a hierarchy of information that followed a logical and chronological pattern. Due to the easy  to follow nature of her project, I, in turn,  plan on incorporating the same aspects into my project.
