Video: Jared Spool “What Makes Design Intuitive?”

January 25, 2010

Using examples of web sites, applications, devices, and more, guest lecturer Jared Spool tackles factors that contribute to counter-intuitive design, and narrows down when design is intuitive:

It’s basically, they (the user) will just know what to do. They can walk up to it and know what to do right away, and they don’t feel they would need any training, whether explicit or implicit. It’s obvious.

  1. Well, it’s somewhat curious to watch on a video dedicated to “intuitive design” even if the video itself is totally non-intuitive in its form… who can read the screen content? smile

            1. Just look at Apple. They are the kings of simple intuitive design. To me, the opposite of intuitive design is those pages that scroll forever. I think the home page should have a very clear message and action item. See if you can spot mine!! (I hope so)...

                          1. It is always special for anyone in ;knowing about the design intuitive information in a quick manner. This is really great for others in knowing it. This gives the better chance for others in knowing it.
