This article shows what interaction design is and what kind of things should interaction designers be noticed. There are differences between traditional graphic designers and modern web designers. According to this article, modern web designer should do not only design text or pictures but also link the gap between man and machine. In addition, interaction designers try to think about what users want and maintain equilibrium purpose of business and technological capabilities. It might be more hard work than traditional graphic design, because development of technologies goes past and web designers; interaction designers should be concerned both users and technologies at the same time as human-computer interaction.

Five concepts IxD

1.     Goal – Driven design
Purpose of website should be shown clearly. Designer should consider and research what users want as much as website’s aims.

2.     Interface as magic
Interaction designs do not need to be complex. “Less is less”. If users can get their aims with a simple website which shows certainly what users want, it would be a great way to be simple delivering information.

3.     Usability
Interfaces of interaction design should be easy to use and understand.

4.     Affordances
Interaction designs should have functionality. Designers should be concerned concept and functions of website as well.

5.     Learnability
Interaction designers do not use same design even similar, they should take challenge out of patterns. In order to make a usable website, interaction designers should try to make learnable interface.
