SlideShare’s “Seductive Interactions: An Art & Science” is an engaging presentation on design strategy. Of the 175 clicks I found click 85, most valuable – its title: What Do We Know About People?
they listed | my ux take |
---|---|
We’re curious | Don’t list features and functions, let users discover them |
We’re also afraid of change | Forecast changes and promote upcoming redesigns |
We seek patterns | Be predictable, have consistency in menu, headers, colors, etc. |
We like to order and organize things | Sort options, customize pages, Flickr Organizr |
We’re intensely self centered | Tell a friend, favorites, iLike, StumbleUpon |
We’re lazy | 175 click slides are manageable w/a jump feature |
We’re visual thinkers and learners | Thus SlideShare and demo video popularity |
We like to be the hero of the story | We promote our thoughts and actions (blog, tweet) more than others |
We don’t like to make choices, but we like choice | We are entice by Chrome’s market growth, but we just can’t leave FireFox |
We like to be in control (and to be guided) | Allowing users to choose when to upgrade and provide demos |
We find novelty and surprise interesting | New features and functions keep us coming back for more |
and so on | We can generalize about people/users, but should always seek their feedback and act on it |
Thanks for reading my hero story. Here is the Seductive Interactions show, for more novelty and surprises.
