The web world is constantly evolving. Every day there is something new to see and know for the users. To make sure users can understand and make the most out of the new features, it becomes imperative for designers and developers to try to make things easier to grasp for the users. Whether it is a web developer working on a website design or a mobile app designer concentrating on a user-friendly application design, both of them applies interaction design principles to pull out their job efficiently.

 Interaction design principles are mainly used to introduce audiences to new concepts and also to train them how to use those concepts. Designers and developers have a big responsibility to ensure that every user is able to understand the positivity of a particular product or service that appears on a website. Users also need to understand a UI pattern for good user experience.

 As a mobile app designer, if you are bringing anything brand new or any innovative ideas in an application, interaction design principles can help you make the users familiar and to comprehend your ideas easily.

Using Patterns For Implementing Interaction Design

 There is no fixed pattern that works wonder for every type of navigation menu, list, icon and other aspects of layout. If there had been so, renowned mobile app design companies would not have assessed the efficiency of a mobile app designer before recruiting him or her. You have to conduct extensive research and perform certain experimentation. What works for a particular layout may not be a good selection for another design. So, it is always handy to carry out in-depth analysis, trials and testing and then, take the final decision.

 Let me give you an example. While working on the navigation of a web page, at first you need to think from the viewer’s point of view. Maximum users expect rather prefer to spot the navigation bar right at the top of a web page. Some like it in a header style while some are content with it on a sidebar. Based on these findings after analysis, you need to recognize which of the two (header style or side bar) will be the perfect choice for your mobile application design. You will get a clear answer (or a clear winner) when you run a contest between header style and side bar.

 Scrutiny, experiment and testing – these three form an indispensable part of interaction design principles. Make sure not to overlook them.

Emerging User Patterns Can be The Appropriate Choice

 There will hardly be any problem if you use common or standard patterns since users are familiar with them and will not face any difficulty in using them. But, at the same time, there will not be any trouble if you think a bit different and use emerging patterns. The highlighting feature of emerging patterns is that they lend a spectacular appeal to a design. This type of pattern is new and users are not very much familiar with it. You do not need to take a backward step after analyzing this factor. Instead, put your best efforts to display and prove emerging patterns to be comprehensible.

 The fact that emerging patterns are quite an attention-grabber will make more and more users keen to know about them, learn deeply about them and eventually, use them with ease. A certain or a large group of audience urges for something new and attractive and appreciates the implementation of a novel functionality. So, there is nothing to feel that you are taking a wrong step or sustaining risks by incorporating emerging patterns.

Emerging Patterns – the Next Big Wonder in Interaction Design

 A thing which is unfamiliar today can suddenly turn out to be outrageous tomorrow. A thing which is hardly known today does not mean it lacks potential to be popular a few days or years later. Similarly, emerging patterns may not be very familiar with the users at present, but they have the capacity to become a ruling trend within a short span of time. In spite of being blasted for poor UX nuances at the initial stage, parallax scrolling design gradually claimed much fame and popularity. This is because it has many other positive and striking features that captivated the users. The same thing goes for emerging patterns. Use them and make your interaction design eye-catching and successful.
