comments related to the quote "Poor Design may affect Reading"(DEC17) 5M
Reading is important in UI design:
Reading is an artificial skill that is
learned by systematic training like play musical instruments or balancing a
bicycle etc. Learning to read involves training the brain to recognize visual
pattern, a gamut from low to high level runs to recognize patterns that our
brains learn.
Poor design can affect reading.
1. Uncommon or familiar
vocabulary.
Words that are not commonly in use should
be avoided.
All computer geeke may be familiar with
all these terms, but for people from other domains such as real estate agent
furniture dealer such words become very difficult to decode and then understand
the message, as a designer, it is your responsibility to make all users
comfortable.
2. Difficult script and typefaces.
You may be tempted to use the various
fonts available and make the interface interesting.
3. Tiny fonts.
The positive and enticing offers are in
bold large fonts while the actual risk are in extremely small fonts. The intention
behind tiny fonts should be only to ensure that your user skip this information
easily.
4. Text on noisy background.
Having text written on a textured back
reduces readability.
5. Information buried in
repetition.
Reading the same information repeat may be
in different tenses will make reader assume that these is nothing more in it.
6. Centered text or right aligned
text.
Most of us are trained to read from to
right.
In a centered or right alighted text, line
begin at a different place.
Reading will not be an automatic anymore.
