Label + field alignment.

Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:47:00 -0400

What’s the best way to align labels with fields? Some say top, some say inside, and say right aligned. Which do you use?

UX movement talks about how keeping the labels right align makes it easier for user to scan.

But my method of choice is top align. It makes the filling out a form faster. The visual representation of the form is clean and easier for he eyes to follow.

Here UX movement talks about the value of top alignment and how it allows the user the fill out a form faster.

Depending on the goal of the form should decide which align method you choose.

I agree with almost all of this, and I think if enough people keep saying it, companies will start doing it.

Myth #31: UX design is a step in a project

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:29:33 -0500

uxmyths:

Many think that user experience design is confined to sketching the interfaces. However, UX design is a much broader process that - ideally - starts at the strategy level and affects the whole lifecycle of a project or a business.

UX design begins by learning about the business model, doing user research and understanding how a service can fit into the users’ lives in a meaningful way. Thus UX design has a crucial part in defining the business strategy, providing baselines for business decisions with such design deliverables as personas or user stories. A UX-driven process doesn’t end with the UIs either, it’s also about testing with people, supporting development, making ongoing adjustments even after the launch.

One thing i don’t like about gmail’s new UI. Is that I occasionally click the ads now that it’s gray. I think i expect the back button to be there.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

Rest in peace, Mr. Jobs.
