UI/IA notes-20041008

keep status information up to date and within easy view

consistency is not uniformity. so make objects consistent with their behavior. make objects that act differently look different.

system minimalism=labor maximalism
be concise/clear/straight-forward/informative/accurate with menu & button labels

navigation,navigation,navigation

where does "paperless" go?

the fundamental architecture of the system vs. the surface design of the interface

A single-use application for accomplishing an unknown task requires a far more directive interface than a habitual-use interface for experts.
