TRANSCRIPT
Summary Consistency: Make sure you have similar design,
similar behavior throughout the site. Strive for consistency in appearance and behavior, because it facilitates the credibility, usability and reliability;
Visibility: Provide cues to know when and where can users interact;
Learnability: Meaningful and unambiguous labels, content, and interactions make it possible to quickly understand and repeat the experience;
Predictability: We want to be able to set expectations so that people know where they are, where can they go, what can happen, and what the outcome of their actions will be;
Feedback: Acknowledge interactions, make sure users know that the interface realises that they have interacted with it, as well as provide information such as error messages, dialogs and comptetion messages (status, location, progress, and completion)

Interaction Design & Text
Delivery of Text
1st Scanning – Ease the process of people finding what they are searching for. Design pages and screens to facilitate scanning.
2nd Reading – Use effective layout and typography to ease the process of reading.
Delivery of Text
• Headers and sub-headers
• Bullet lists
• Line height and whitespace
• Font face, size and decoration
• Text line and row width
Scan first read later
Headers and sub-headers
Bullet lists
Lists are processed faster than paragraphs of continuous text:
There was a dog, a cat, a parrot and a cow.
• Dog
• Cat
• Parrot
• Cow
Line height and Whitespace
Ease the reading speed with the layout of line height and whitespace

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
