About This DocumentThis document is intended to be an introduction to the issues involved in designing user interfaces. It draws heavily on material that is already in existence (noted in the bibliography) and is a summarization and synthesis of those resources. This document is not intended to be the definitive word on user interface design, nor is it a "how to" manual that will lead the reader step by step to a quality user interface design. It does, however, present an overview of general issues that are involved in user interface design and the process of designing user interfaces.Most of the graphics used in this document were taken from the Macintosh. This is only because the author had direct access to Macintosh user interface elements. The concepts discussed herein are equally applicable to Macintosh, Windows , or any other environment.
