W7: creating boundaries
Look around you. There are many fields surrounded by trees, sidewalks, curb on the streets, railroad tracks, a charging process consists of several steps …
Word from theme4u.biz: The translations are not easy, and for week 7 is really an obstacle lon.Chung I urge you to ignore if see translations confusing. In this article you will understand the contents Week 7 is to provide a “spirit” for designers when they know that it is they who create the boundaries, the work area, the behavior, the experience for the user.
Various fields as well as web design does not have a clear boundary. However, they have different boundaries when people design them. The design, then, create the user experience features.
We create the boundaries.
In public and private places. Customers are the areas where we need to penetrate. We’re not talking about all acts and make all the user experience, we recommend it.
We do not make the turn, we are creating boundaries, wherever it occurs. Uncompromising vision, we set out the boundaries of software and put it on the products sent to customers, create new experiences and behaviors.
“The behavior you are seeing is the act designed for you”
– Joshua Porter
People act and then follow the boundaries that you have outlined. Set boundaries for action, and to place new actions will be generated, it also created the opening acts and the discovery of the user.
The principle of Erving Goffman, the father of the boundary behavior analysis.
“People are often not aware of the boundaries.”
Boundaries to allow for people to locate, identify and name. People can follow the complex boundaries of a city or a website, but they do not realize it or even recognize it when asked.
People put their actions into a moving world and support available to the Task Force – “The operation is determined.” It gives them the context from their perspective. Be simple, but allows new behaviors to develop.
“People can ignore the unexplained, but not inexplicable.”
Boundaries we set structure should be comfortable, not cramped. A comfortable way that others can not feel, and not rigid if not they will find limited. Too complicated, they will find trouble.
Experience is the “wound” and care should be taken to understand user needs and the context they use to adjust the appropriate boundary.
As the designer, as well as people, adjust your boundaries. It is where you will find new meanings appear, design your behavior, and you can not predict behavior.

The power of boundaries
The power of boundaries – not that the best chance of the design
– Liz Danzico –
So if we create boundaries, these boundaries do we create?
Boundary structure: The impact from the way we create space. Create the space people live and use. Can be compared as the architect. Internet and the world, it is the interaction design, information architecture design.
We create the action to be accepted. In this way, the web page as a room … with the opportunities and limitations. You can go through the door (links, search engines, sample confirmed ….), implementation of the action and leave.
Eat in the living room is the best, as if eating in the bathroom, the result is bad experience.
Image boundaries: The impact to the way we look at things. Image structures we build in all design affects how people look at it. Hierarchy of images we have to be strong enough so that the user can distinguish the content in the correct order?
Users were really attracted to the most important information, factors distracted? They will know what to do next?
Social boundaries: Affected by how we interact with others. What is the chance of social interaction? You can poke (suddenly) they? That they enjoy? Enjoy what they do? How to manage?
You can export or import relationships, and (more importantly) it means? It is a large area, we are only beginning to survey the social boundaries.
Boundary concept: Influenced by the way we think about things. Most communication through words and images. “Register – register” on your web or “joining your community – join the community”?
They “share the love” or “create Buzz – shock”. This design helps the illustration or image everything becomes a problem? Words and images we use to lead people to think of the things we build, and for a long time to become our brand.
In many cases they provide the conceptual boundaries without thinking … while the basic objectives should be clear.
But to achieve that, we can create the experience further by creating a style guide … full language and images we use to build a useful conceptual boundaries.
The boundaries of course, does not stand on its own. They overlap, mixed and co-exist. As UX design we deal with all the time!
