What is Interaction Design?
Designing what people see before, during and after each action they take.
What you learn
Show what will happen, that it’s happening, and what happened.
When it helps
you are designing a whole action, from what someone sees before it to what they can do after it.
Use it at work
- Pick one action.
- Before it, show what will happen.
- During it, show that it’s working.
- After it, show what happened and what comes next.
Your output
Pick one action in your product. Write what people see before, during and after it, and fill any gap.
Watch for
Designing the action but not the moments before and after it.
