Week 08 - 12.05.2025 13.00–15.00 - The Science of Usability: Essential Laws and Heuristics for Better UX and UI Design (js)
This lecture explores the foundational principles of intuitive and human-centered UX and interface design. We will examine key figures such as Jakob Nielsen, Ben Shneiderman, and Jon Yablonski, along with essential design laws, including Fitts’ Law, Miller’s Law, and Hick’s Law. By understanding these principles, designers can create more effective, user-friendly interfaces that align with human cognition and behavior.
