- Design principles:
- Conceptual models
- Feedback
- Constraints
- Affordances
- All are important. This is what makes design such a challenge and rewarding descipline: it grapples with the need to accommodate apparently conflicting requirements.
- Much of our everyday knowledge resides in the world, not in the head.
The distinction between knowledge and information is not clear. - Design for failure.
- The correct parts must be visible,and they must convey the correct messsage.
