Note: The most important thing is your understanding of your work and your approach, not just words you say and that's it. You might be very knowledgeable, but some anxiety could cost you a lot of jobs, or a mistake in describing or explaining something could lose you the opportunity. This happened to me, and I'm glad it did because it prepared me for a very good opportunity that I eventually reached, thank God. However, this shouldn't stop you from preparing yourself for the interview in every way, understanding the nature of the company, what exactly they need, how you can provide that, and so on.
For months, we shared this journey together through the first chapter of the book "100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People"...💡 It was titled "How People See," and through it, we learned how people see, understand, and interact with the world around us. This is because "sight" is the strongest of all the senses, and half of our brain's resources are dedicated solely to receiving and interpreting what we see. That's why it was important to understand more about how people see and interact with the world around us, so we can design experiences that are closer to reality and to the users...👌🏻
Has it ever happened to you that you were engrossed in reading something on a website, and suddenly an ad popped up on the side, grabbing your attention and distracting you? And no matter how hard you tried to ignore it, your eyes kept going to it automatically! 👀 This is exactly what our second rule today is about in the book "100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People" 💙, which we're still exploring in the first chapter, "How People See." 📌 Rule #2: Peripheral Vision Is Used More Than Central Vision To Understand The Essence of What You See! Which states the following 👇🏻 As humans, we have two types of vision: central vision and peripheral vision. Central vision is what we use when we look directly at things and see details, while peripheral vision is for seeing the rest of the visual field (the areas you see in the periphery of your field of vision without looking directly at them). The importance of central vision is that it helps us identify specific objects, while the importance of peripheral vision lies in its ability to help us understand the world around us and gather information about the type of scene we are looking at. 👌🏻 Here, you must know, while designing your product, that people use peripheral vision when looking at a computer or phone screen. They usually grasp the essence of the content and decide on the topic of the page based on a quick glance through their peripheral vision. This doesn't mean ignoring the center of the screen, as it is important for central vision, but rather not ignoring what appears in the peripheral vision of users. 😊 So always make sure that The information and content in peripheral vision clarifies the purpose of the page and the product as a whole. If you want users to focus on a specific element on the screen, completely avoid placing any moving or flashing elements in their peripheral vision, as they will immediately notice them and their gaze will be drawn to them. 👌🏻 Finally, stay tuned for the next rule; each rule brings us closer to a deeper understanding of the user. 💡✨ #100_Things_Every_Designer_Needs_to_Know_About_People_in_Arabic #uiuxdesign #Psychology
Have you ever chosen a color in a design because it is "clear and its meaning is well-known," only to discover later that in another country, the same color conveys a completely different message..?!👀
