I saw this video today and thought it had some great interface and interaction ideas. I also found this blog post by Bret Victor that looks at the ideas in the video in more detail. Great read.

Red makes me angry

Monday, February 21st, 2011

There are hundreds of books and websites out there on the subject of so called colour psychology and therapy. Google it for yourself and you’ll find a number of sites that explain what certain colours supposedly mean, and how they apparently make people feel. Many of these theories are based on tests that were done some time ago under artificial, staged environments using colour that was either painted on a wall or shown on a card i.e. with paints or inks.

These theories can make for interesting reading but can sometimes have a negative impact on design projects. The problems begin when clients and stakeholders attach themselves to these theories and start to believe that black is evil, or red will make people angry or full of energy (depending on what theory they subscribe to).

A day of User Interface Design

Monday, August 16th, 2010

I’m surrounded by user interface design. From the moment I wake up I’m faced with some simple and some more complex interface designs that somehow I manage to work out. Someone, somewhere has thought about these designs and it’s been their sole purpose to make the experience easy to understand, easy to do and easy to remember.
