Analysis of College Application
Human-computer interaction with the computer has gone a great impact on what the expects. The mind of human beings is trained to perceive things differently from what was being intended by the developer of the interface (Rapp,2020). Therefore, the interface should not be perceived by users but be facilitated by the designer of the interface. A good user interface design must be guided by the principles of design which are a must to be followed to ensure effective user interface design.
Figure 1- Showing account creation form
In this assignment am going to choose a college post-graduate application using create account interface page, I can state in advance that implementation offends all the principles of appropriate user interface design(Ren et al, 2019). Still, it is on this page that I will employ the concept of processor model and predictor model in evaluating the veracity and element consistency on the interface.
Articulating the job of the user as per the model, the interface is articulated fully for everyone who wishes to apply for postgraduate courses needed to have an account with the system. Applications are submitted fully without any problems as the systems work fully. The site offers one to login into the system, register if not registered. After Login one is obliged to apply for the course program after securing his or her account in essence.
This is the model which discerns what already has been discussed in the processor model, it takes into perspective what the interface lacks and what can be done to ensure a proper interface that resonates with the user and always makes him or her navigate from one point to another (Processor et al,2021).
More essentially, when critically analyzing the account creation form, from the perspective of the user, it is very easy to tell, the form was very few elements. The name convention principles have been offended. New user forms must contain a placeholder to tell what format is required in every label which has been provided. Commonly in modern designs placeholders are appropriate conventions in helping the user navigate through.
Successful login and registration of a system aren’t guaranteed in a system set before or before the nature of the information you provided during registration in entirety. Therefore, the system has a mechanism for logging off errors and exceptions. However, while using this application successful creation of the account isn’t demonstrated. It is poor logic and interface design as one needs to know if he has created an account successfully or not.
The choice of colors in the account creation interface is not worthwhile mentioning and using, why this is because according to principles of user interface design the color should be appropriate and appealing to the eyes of the user.
The account creation form contains more text which is only limited to people who write. The application should take into consideration the special needs of special interest groups. The designer of the application ought to use dropdown and checkboxes to make sure that the interest of individuals has been catered for in finality and works to the interest of all the people who are likely to use the interface now or shortly.
Analysis of Mobile/Desktop Game
The use of the “continue” in the application means creating an account that is not synonymous with many designs while implementing a user registration module. The principle of interface design states that the universal suffrage rule should be maintained as all components must be named according to the user’s previous knowledge. For instance, signup and sign-in are commonly text used in user registration forms.
Comparing the utility of the two models, processor models only anticipate the status quo that whatever was developed by the web designer that is it all. the processor model figures out what are the avenue and approaches of meeting s user needs without putting into consideration the look and feel of the interface in the system(Kliesch et al,2021). From the insight, the two models need to be applied conjunctively. This is because one model only optimizes on the user requirement and does not prioritize the look and the feel of the company. More than not actively what normally happens in the interface implementations.
In this application, I will be discussing the candy crash game which is both a desktop and mobile application. It involves the alignment of various candies so that you can score in the game. Scoring happens when luckily or fortunate enough you align your content in the right direction so that everything can work usefully to complete the game.
The constraint in the application is that you require a very high level of expertise for you to score. The interface of the game lacks a side navigation bar that enables you to choose the complexity of the game. Normally most game designer has mastered our heart in ensuring that developed games that have different capacity and levels of complexity as per the user’s experience.
To address these concerns fully. User interface design for such kind of game needs to have some side navigation bar. This side navigation bar will enhance the navigation of the people at different from one point to another in the application. An appropriate application with poor designs discourages users from achieving what they want. A well-coordinated system interface or application should be easier for every user of the applications.
Additionally, the application lacks appropriate color consistency. All the colors in the application are not appealing at all. Assuming some have eye problems it makes him difficult to make use of the application. The game application can be improved by ensuring that, color consistency has been achieved throughout the application. An application that lacks consistency offends the universal suffrage principle of interface design.
It is very difficult to tell whether you are logged in or out of the system. It is very appropriate to enhance the appropriateness of the user application from different perspectives. Session must be catered for in every application either mobile or desktop. To address this concern make sure your application through the desktop or mobile application has an entry point. On top of this, it will enhance the security of your application in advance.
The application exhibit unnecessary alerts. An insensible alert has dominated the use of the applications, the application could have been made nicer by mere reducing the number of alerts that are manifested in the application fully. Use other techniques to demonstrate foul or error in the application rather than popping alerts. Gulf of execution in Ed discussion entails users of the page collaborating to pass knowledge about a particular of concern to both participants. The communication forum involves various participants coming together and producing what is best and what is suited for them.
Conclusion
Addressing the gulf of execution in implementing the scenario, and setting it up involves various correspondents in realizing what is expected in and above application requirements. Considerably to ascertain the complexity of this discussion forum, it has three dimensions. One has to post a topic of discussion and the other one has to respond. It is in this context that we realize that information flow has taken place. Through the communication cycle from different perspectives.
Now assuming that one is a newbie in the discussion forum one ought to get a clear guide on what to do to avoid becoming stuck. In the newly developed system, they come with manuals or they have a navigation bar that has a tab for help. New users of the system should find ease in navigation from one part of the system to another. A well-documented guide should help them maneuver through the system totally and essentially.
Hence when using the gulf of execution here, the initial intent of understanding the user goal in developing Ed discussion forum should be the first key insight. A well-developed system will drive its insight from users’ requirements by making sure the system function well.
The second stage in the gulf of execution for the Ed system is the action to be taken in place. Most importantly what happens is that, individuals to develop and act upon the requirement should be vigilant enough in enhancing the best techniques and technicality of procedure, while developing the discussion page. It should contain all elements which are appropriate for the development and make it easier for the student to navigate through during the discussion forum.
The third stage will ensure that the executive action event has just taken place and will enable, the developer to develop it full consideration all aspects of user interface and computer-human interaction principles.
To ensure effective communication, the communication platform has an error where one can type the message he or she is intending to send to the intended person. The platforms also enable one to make use of the file upload button which helps the discussion group to upload various file types and make the discussion of the various topics of concern lively.
The most developed application makes the individual face a lot of challenges due to the poorly developed interface which can be rectified once and for all. Assuming you are using file convert applications that convert from one type to another. An application that converts pdf to word documents. In a classical sense the interface of such file, you expect it to prompt to upload the file or the link for the documents you wanted to be converted. In most cases, this is not the case for similar apps for the same type and to execute similar jobs.
In using pdf to word convert we have a nice interface and well pictured demonstrated to illustrate that everything works fine and the file is converted and allowed to download it consequently. Taking a looks at a similar application by the same pdf convert called Smallpdf, you have to undergo a long process due to interface problems in understanding how it is executed. In most cases, once the file has been converted it is sent to email without prior notice that conversion has taken place(Petersson,2019). But compared with the counterpart gulf widen, this is because in pdf to word converter you see the conversion process.
To enhance the interface of the small pdf functionality you have to enhance the visible conversion process through progression dialogs. It should be implemented to make sure everything works perfectly and effectively for it all. Ideally, good interfaces are attractive.
