Through my study of the Gestalt principles and Fitt’s Law, I have learned that incorporating these principles into design can create visually coherent, intuitive, and efficient interfaces for the user, thus promoting a positive and effective user experience.
The next time I design an interactive interface, I will first think about grouping, similarity, closure, continuity, and figure-ground relationship as mentioned in the Gestalt principles, which not only bring the user a positive and effective user experience, but also bring the user a sense of connection. These principles not only give the user a better visual experience, but also allow them to directly prioritize and focus on what the designer wants to emphasize during the interaction.
Next is the use of space as taught in Fitt’s Law, which includes size and distance, proximity to the cursor path, negative space, responsive design, and visual feedback for interaction. This reduces accidental clicks by the user during the interaction while making the path more natural.
