4.1. What is User Interface Design

The user interface is the graphical layout of an

application. It consists of the buttons users click on,
the text they read, the images, sliders, text entry

fields, and all the rest of the items the user interacts
with. This includes screen layout, transitions,

interface animations and every single micro-
interaction. Any sort of visual element, interaction,

or animation must all be designed.

4.2. Characteristics of Good User Interface

A good interface makes it easy for users to tell the computer what they want to do, for

the computer to request information from the users, and for the computer to present
understandable information. Clear communication between the user and the computer

is the working premise of good UI design.

Clear

A clear interface helps prevent user errors, makes
important information obvious, and contributes to

ease of learning and use. If people can’t figure out
how your application works or where to go on your

website they’ll get confused and frustrated. The tooltip feature can give

information about the tool

Consistent

A clear interface helps prevent user

errors, makes important information
obvious, and contributes to ease of

learning and use.
