Goals

  • Start thinking more mindfully about visual design

Assignment

Read chapter 3: 'Visual Design' in 'Artful Design'. You are welcome to skim the section on motion (p 128-133).

Briefly answer the following.

  1. In your own words, describe strange design loops.
  2. Relate Wang's principles 1-16 with Tog's First Principles of Interaction Design. There is overlap here -- where to they converge and where do they diverge. Be holistic, there is no need to explicitly list every principle on both lists.
  3. Pick one of the principles that resonates with you. Looking forward towards your upcoming project, how are you going to actively apply this principle to your app? This doesn't need to be on the specific level ("I'm going to use glowing expanding circles everywhere"). Instead, I would like you to reflect on how you will bring the principle into the process.
