Title: The 10 principles of interaction design
Context: When it comes to great user experience in blog posts, it is tough to beat a top 10 list.
Synopsis: Who doesn’t love reducing their chosen calling to a list of 10 core principles? I know I do! All snark aside, this list is actually pretty darn good. And irreverent (which as far as I’m concerned should be principle #11). I know these lists tend to be subjective, but sometimes it’s a good exercise to match your own core design principles against others in the industry as a way of understanding contrasting approaches to design as a discipline. While there are always bound to be common threads between approaches, I am more intrigued by the differences as these are where it becomes possible to identify personal blind spots or indeed engage in the often cathartic “this guy doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about!” outburst. I’m not saying this list is wholly accurate, exhaustive or even useful, all I’m saying is that it’s interesting and worth a read. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a B+.
Best Bit: “Don’t be a dick.”
