Assignment-4
Solve the following question:
Q: What is interaction design? And what are the dimensions of interaction
design? Also include images of good and bad design and explain it that why it is
good or bad design?

Answer:
Interaction Design is the design of interactive products and services in which a designer's focus
goes beyond the item in development to include the way users will interact with it.
Interaction design is an important component within the giant umbrella of user experience (UX)
design.

The Five Dimensions of Interaction Design:


Interaction design has five basic principles or what developers often call dimensions. These are:

1D: Words
2D: Visual Representations
3D: Physical Objects or Space
4D: Time
5D: Behavior

Dimension 1: Words
Words on a website should be simple to understand, but at the same time, they should convey much
meaning – and they should talk to the right demographic. The rule of thumb here is to use concise
language and do not have much, if any, fluff.

Dimension 2: Visual Representations


Visuals in the digital space include anything that is not a word, such as typography, photography,
icons, diagrams and any graphical elements.

Dimension 3: Physical Objects or Space


Creating good visuals is essential, but if you do not put them in the right place, they will not have
the same impact. Cluttered web design will affect the interaction negatively, as it makes it harder
for users to interact with the different elements of websites. Keep in mind that physical objects and
spacing will differ from device to device.

Dimension 4: Time
Time dimension refers to the idea that media may change over time, and that motion and sound can
and do play a crucial role in how a user navigates and interacts with a product.
Dimension 5: Behavior
It show that how do the previous four elements work together to influence a user’s interaction with
a product? The behavior dimension also looks at emotional feedback from the users and forms new
recommendations from feedback to enhance the user experience.

Bad design :
Explanation:
The Bad: Parking Signs in Los Angeles
Parking signs in Los Angeles have been the epitome of information overload for decades. They’ve
always been notoriously hard to understand, because the traffic rules are complex, resulting in the
need to convey a lot of information in a small area.
Good design:
Explanation
The Good: Nikki Sylianteng’s Parking Sign
Designing a sign to display all the information, while being easy to understand, sounds like an
impossible task. But that’s exactly what Brooklyn designer Nikki Sylianteng did.
