(The context of this article is Human Computer Interaction in digital products and services. The content should not be taken as a science, but rather an opinion, from real working knowledge of design industry and know-how)

Human Computer Interaction is an evolving and fast paced field that can be regarded as a milkshake blended with Computer science, Behavioral Sciences, Design, Media studies, and Art. It basically is a open-ended dialog between the user and the computer.

Good Interface Design involves imagination, conceptualisation skills and a systematic design approach that encourages user’s behaviour regardless if the user is from a military or defence background or a common person like someone using a social network like Facebook or hunting for a job using an Employment Portal.

The overall concept must be built with a systematic design approach that attracts and engages the user, giving him a greater sense and control of the computer. A design that is inviting and friendly. User Interface Design is a daily part of people’s lives today. All SmartPhones, Social Social Networks, even a common office tool like Microsoft Office cannot function without a proper User Interface.

The most important thing to remember when designing a user interface is to give a sense of control to the user. Since control is something that all humans seek, its gives them a sense of power, responsibility and happiness. Control is the psychological success of a good user interface. Whenever i design a user interface, Primarily i design from a user’s perspective and try to make sure the design is targeted and aligned with the requirements of it’s audience. Secondarily, By performing revisions to an interface overtime, Interface Design can maximise the usage of any of software and maximise the usage of its features and functionality which is most important to Programme Managers and Software Developers.

In my humble experience, i believe the future of visual design in general lies with personalized or targeted information (specific to a user’s interests) Since we are bombarded everyday with online advertising that is desperate to get our attention. I believe in focused design for the targeted audience, and having pleasing colour scheme that increases enjoyability for the end user.
