The Meta Principles for Visual Usability
Glass is fundamentally different than existing mobile platforms in both design and use. Follow these principles when building Glassware to give users the best experience.
-
Consistency
Consistency is about making things look and behave the same to take advantage of user familiarity and expectations. You achieve that by establishing patterns within your app and use them consistently to crate visual language.
-
Hierarchy
Hierarchy is about indicating differences that help people know how the app works, what’s important, and what to do. Use the Gestalt Principles to establish a visual hierarchy.
-
Personality
Just as people react to other people, people react to applications. First impressions happen automatically, consciously and unconsciously. Other impressions are the result of interactions over time. Personality refers to impressions formed based on appearance and behavior, a concept that applies to applications as well as people.
