Creative Interpretation in Web Design Experience

Abstract

Insight into how people mentally represent, and thus, make sense of visual designs is the key to understanding how people interact with technological devices. This paper presents a study in which participants were asked to write their interpretations of two webpage design examples, based on what they thought they would say and what would remain as a thought. The data comprised 80 3E-templates (N = 40), a template allowing participants to express experiences through writing and drawing. Inductive data analysis through a phenomenological lens revealed that supposed mental and verbal representations concentrated on the following design properties: colors, themes, interface layout and quality, which are further reflected in terms of visual usability, aesthetic evaluations, emotions and physical feelings. Representations of themes functioned as the unifying components of the visual experience. Involvement through curiosity and strategic operationalisation of ambiguity are identified as direct design implications of the study.

Investigating the role of Java Frameworks in enhancing web UI design with the design thinking method

“…The User Interface, which is comprised of several different components such as desktops, keyboards, mice, and display screens, serves as a mechanism that facilitates communication between individuals and computers. To achieve these objectives, a design strategy that is both straightforward and advanced has been implemented [19]. The font selections that were made are tailored to the profile of the website, which ensures that the legal nuance is maintained.…”

“…The font selections that were made are tailored to the profile of the website, which ensures that the legal nuance is maintained. The use of illustrations, which were done on purpose to serve as reinforcing components, is another essential component of the design [19]. In a manner analogous to the development of works of art, these visual aids are vital for elucidating narratives or facts and enhancing the audience's knowledge of the subject matter.…”

The Role of Design and Digital Media in Monitoring and Improving the Performance of Taekwondo Athletes

“…The methodology consisted of creating a prototype and validating it through usability tests with athletes and coaches. User experience is often influenced by the way information is displayed or organized [2]. Thus, design proves to be relevant when it concerns sports and the understanding of data and statistics, essentially in modalities where the level of precision of the specific positions of each technique is high, as it happens in Taekwondo.…”

Exploring aethetics in design: Implications for human-computer interaction

“…Attention has been directed towards the nature of aesthetic experiences in relation to HCI, such as a dynamic and contextually bound "interaction aesthetics" (Xenakis & Arnellos, 2013, p. 59) or "user interest, excitement and satisfying experiences" (Sutcliffe, 2010, p. vi; see also Engholm, 2010;Lindegaard, 2007;Silvennoinen, Rousi, & Mononen, 2017). Moreover, the focus of research has been on the role of beauty in the designed interfaces and devices (e.g., Bollini, 2017;Tractinsky, 2004;Tuch, Roth, Hornbaek, Opwis, & Bargas-Avila, 2012) or on questions of visual styles in interfaces and interactive design (e.g., Buur & Stienstra, 2007;Engholm, 2008), such as website design.…”
