Jens, Excellent point, and some great responses already.
It seems to me there was a soul/R&B song out at least 20 years ago with the title "Compared to What?" Good song, too. I'll only add that people commit the fallacy of not adding a comparative reference when they say that an interaction or any design element should be "consistent" or "intuitive." The same ambiguity is there - compared to the other buttons on this page? Compared to other screens in this program? Compared to other experiences by the same audience in other contexts altogether? Often you have a great deal of flexibility, depending on what you decide to be consistent with! - Jim Hoekema On Jul 4, 4:48 am, "Jens Meiert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Feeling free to blatantly point to my own take on "Compared to What?," > <http://meiert.com/en/blog/20080703/compared-to-what/>. > Jens Meierthttp://meiert.com/en/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
