专题介绍
Functioning Form is a blog about interface design. That is to say, it is where art and technology emerge as experience, where message and medium meld, and where interactions are useful, usable, and enjoyable.
In the context of interaction design, the user experience design process, and Web applications, Functioning Form explores themes like Visual Communication; Information Density vs. Visual Simplicity; User Friendly vs. User Empowerment; the next generation of graphical user interfaces; and successful unions of engineering and art, of emotion and logic, and of function and form.
