Typically, products are designed to be most suitable for the average user. Alignment is one of the most important design principles. It helps ensure a sharp, ordered appearance for ultimately better designs by ensuring your various elements of design have a pleasing connection with each other. The 80/20 rule asserts that approximately 80 percent of the effects generated by any large system are caused by 20 percent of the variables in that system. The 80/20 rule is observed in all large systems, including those in economics, management, user-interface design, quality control, and engineering, to name a few. The specific percentages are not important, as measures of actual systems indicate that the proportion varies between 10 percent and 30 percent. The universality of the 80/20 rule suggests a link to normally distributed systems, which limits its application to variables that are influenced by many small and unrelated effects-e.g., systems that are used by large numbers of people in a variety of ways. Applying universal design principles assists people with and without, disabilities. For example, using clear and simple language and navigational mechanisms on web pages facilitates use by those whose native language is not the one in which the course is taught, as well as people with visual and learning disabilities. This book is essential for designers, engineers, architects and students aspiring to learn more about designing"-- Back cover ER -
