UI Tenets + Traps {Part 2}

I have come to terms with the fact that procrastination will probably be the death of me! Well…that’s if an airplane doesn’t land on my head due to my annoying habit of always having earphones on when I’m just walking about the city and its numerous superhighways. But that is a story for another day.

However, I really hope there is a remedy for this procrastination habit that I have recently acquired because if it continues to escalate I’m going to get in real trouble and not just with my readers! I had promised in the first UI Tenets + Traps post that I will do a follow up on it therefore, albeit late, here is an elaboration on how to use UI Tenets + Traps. 

UI Tenets +Traps

I've been having a huge debate in my head for the past couple of weeks on how I would best deliver this topic to you guys. This is because it is based on a training that was held at the +iHub UX Lab at the +iHub but I never managed to attend it due to prior commitments. However, I was given a number of flashcards that they used during the training and to be honest, I found them easy to understand once I went through them. 

So the big question was whether I could be able to explain the cards in such a way that everyone else would as well. My biggest fear here is misleading everybody here. I wouldn’t want that. Not at all! With that said, I thought the best way to start this discussion would be to give an introduction of some sort on what UI Tenets + Traps is all about then go ahead to explain the cards one by one in later posts. Cool?
