User Centered Design
What is SImplicity?
Simplicity is the state, quality, or an instance of being simple.
Huaman Perception
Chunking
A term reffering the process of taking individual units of information and group them into larger units.
Most common example of chinking are phone numbers.
It often a useful tool when memorizing large amounts of information.
By saperating disparate individual elements into larger blocks, information become easier to retain and recall.
Contrast
To show the unlikeness on comparison with something else. Differences along a visual dimension (size or color)
Contrast is irregularities in design that:-
-Communicates information
-Make elements stand out
Visual Variables
Visual Variables are used for communication by encoding data + drawing distinctions between elements.
Two ways that visual variable work on perception:-
-Selectivity
-Associativity
Selectivity
A person will select a single value out of the whole visual field.
Put it in simple way, on a visual field which part attract the viewer the most, using position, size, orientations, hue, value and texture.

Associativity
Assiociativity is opposite from selectivity, a picture/ photo apply assiociativity, meaning that the picture, subject, colour, position all blend together. Another definition is very hard to spot where the subject is...

Week 6 - User Centred Design
What is simplicity?
Simplicity is about do or show something simple but not simply, simplicity is also something that easy to understand in contrast or something complicated. Simplicity is not something simple. For designer designing simplicity is a process of elimination and forces designer to have a good reason for everything because they have to explain how does the product works with the design. "If you cant explain it simply, you don't understand well enough" Albert Einstein
Chunking
Chunking is a type of memorizing, in psychology is phenomenon whereby individuals group responses when performing a memory task. The chunking is the combination of perception and memory. This method is to let people more easy to memorizing the subject.
For example,
4 3 3 4 9 6 5 9 3 5 7 5 7 3 7 5 8 6 7
433 496 593 575 375 867
Contrast
Contrast is a person or thing showing the differences when compared with another. Contrast is to make element stand out.The use of opposing elements, such as colors, forms, or lines, in a design an intensified the effect in a work of art. The difference in brightness between the light and dark areas of a picture, such as a photograph or video image.
Visual Variables
visual variables are used for communication by encoding date and drawing. There there are 2 ways that visual variables work on perception
-selectivity
-associativity
Selectivity
A good designer will select a better single value from the entire visual field. Visual field is to make it more attractive and get most attention from the audience by using position, size, orientation, hue, value and texture.
Associativity
Associativity is the opposite of selectivity.a picture with associate is a picture that blend image, object, colour and placement all together. In another words, the object is very hard to stand out.
User Centred Design
According to Wikipedia, User-centred design is a design philosophy and a process in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process. A good design is not always satisfied customer because only customer know what they need and what they really want it. A design is a collaboration between designer and customer because designer is design for the customer so designer have to know and understand what the customer need and what they really want with the design of the product.If the information from user is wrong,then the system will suffer. Designer have do more research of the information and different which is the correct or wrong information from the customer. Sometime designer will misunderstand the information from the customer,so one of the easiest way to prevent designer received wrong information from customer is to have a good communication with customer.

Week 6: User Centre Design
Simplicity
Well for me simplicity can be either good or bad. For example, a designer is designing a logo, website, artwork and much more cannot apply simplicity in it, because design required simple not simply, the outcome of simply will be a bad design, but for simple design is a good design, "Simple but not Simply".
But simplicity fro designing also can be good as well, simplicity is a process of elimination, simplicity forces you to have a good reason for everything, "Simplicity is not Simple".
"If you cant explain it simply, you don't understand well enough" Albert Einstein
Chunking
Chunking is psychological term, in psychology, is a phenomenon whereby individual groups perform a memory task. Chunking also can be define as method of memorizing.
Example:
2 7 4 7 9 3 2 1 6 8 3 3 6 8 2 3 4 0 7 4 6
274 793 216 833 682 340 746
Visual Variable: Selectivity
A person will select a single value out of the whole visual field.
Put it in simple way, on a visual field which part attract the viewer the most, using position, size, orientations, hue, value and texture.
Example:
Which part of the picture attract you the most?
Is it the sun that you see first?
Assiociativity
Assiociativity is opposite from selectivity, a picture/ photo apply assiociativity, meaning that the picture, subject, colour, position all blend together. Another definition is very hard to spot where the subject is...
Example:
Pattern
Can you find the cat in this picture?

Graphic design require a designer with a creative brain to create an art called graphic design. Graphic design can be a photograph, combination of graphic and typography, and most importantly they are mostly created by computer software.
A graphic design shows a lot of thing, "A picture worth a thousand words" yes its true. Through a graphic design contains emotions, feeling, story, message and much more. Designer create this graphic design mostly is for music album, movie poster and advertisement.
