“…This design change also influenced the usability of the intranet as the colour scheme used for the top banner accentuated familiarity among end-users for the intranet. This appears to illustrate that the consistent use of a complementary colour scheme, coupled with the use of quality graphic design, can help users to become familiar with an interface, as found in studies by Rosen and Purinton (2002) and Ling Ngo et al (2003).…”

“…The two designs were developed, using graphic design software (Photoshop). The designs were based on previous research, which identified a number of factors that determine object attractiveness, such as colour, texture, symmetry, and clarity (Ngo et al, 2003;Postrel, 2003).…”

The influence of design aesthetics in usability testing: Effects on user performance and perceived usability

2010

This article examined the effects of product aesthetics on several outcome variables in usability tests. Employing a computer simulation of a mobile phone, 60 adolescents (14-17 yrs) were asked to complete a number of typical tasks of mobile phone users. Two functionally identical mobile phones were manipulated with regard to their visual appearance (highly appealing vs not appealing) to determine the influence of appearance on perceived usability, performance measures and perceived attractiveness. The results showed that participants using the highly appealing phone rated their appliance as being more usable than participants operating the unappealing model. Furthermore, the visual appearance of the phone had a positive effect on performance, leading to reduced task completion times for the attractive model. The study discusses the implications for the use of adolescents in ergonomic research.

“…Here, the preferred size is the natural size of a widget or a layout, i.e., the size a widget or a layout would obtain if their are no other constraints, such as the window size, forcing it to a different size. The other quality terms are motivated by research into UI aesthetics and usability [7,48,49]. We focused on terms that are well-motivated by previous work, but acknowledge that more terms, e.g., to account for alignment, could be added to the objective function.…”

Abstract. Creating multiple layout alternatives for graphical user interfaces to accommodate different screen orientations for mobile devices is labor intensive. Here, we investigate how such layout alternatives can be generated automatically from an initial layout. Providing good layout alternatives can inspire developers in their design work and support them to create adaptive layouts. We performed an analysis of layout alternatives in existing apps and identified common realworld layout transformation patterns. Based on these patterns we developed a prototype that generates landscape and portrait layout alternatives for an initial layout. In general, there is a very large number of possibilities of how widgets can be rearranged. For this reason we developed a classification method to identify and evaluate "good" layout alternatives automatically. From this set of "good" layout alternatives, designers can choose suitable layouts for their applications. In a questionnaire study we verified that our method generates layout alternatives that appear well structured and are easy to use.
