The Halo Effect states that one impression of an aspect of someone or a company will bleed into our aspects of that person or companyThe Halo Effect states that people judge a person or a thing over one trait of that person or that thing.

What is The Halo Effect

<ul><li>When we see an attractive person, we automatically assume that they must be a good person as well</li><li>Someone who found a typo on a moving companies website didn't hire them because they thought if they were so careless on their website how can I trust them with my furniture.</li></ul>

Examples Of This In The Real Wolrd

This is exactly why you always want to present your best self.This is also why you want to take advantage of the Aesthetically-Usability Effect where users think that a well designed website will automically function better and they are willingly to overlook faults

This Is Why First Impressions Matter

The Halo Effect can help you create brand loyalty It is a psycological effect that is most useful.

The Halo Effect says that any one element in a user's experience with a company will rub off on their interpretation of other elements and their feelings about the company as a whole. Good design in one part of a website will make people like other parts better (and like the company better), but the opposite is also true.

The more visible functions are, the more likely users will be able to know what to do next. In contrast, when functions are out of sight, it makes them more difficult to find and know how to use.

Principle #1 Visability

Feedback is about sending back information about what action has been done and what has been accomplished, allowing the person to continue with the activity. Various kinds of feedback are available for interaction design-audio, tactile, verbal, and combinations of these.

Principle #2 Feedback

The design concept of constraining refers to determining ways of restricting the kind of user interaction that can take place at a given moment. There are various ways this can be achieved.

Principle #3 Constraints

This refers to the relationship between controls and their effects in the world. Nearly all artifacts need some kind of mapping between controls and effects.

Principle #4 Mapping

This refers to designing interfaces to have similar operations and use similar elements for achieving similar tasks. In particular, a consistent interface is one that follows rules, such as using the same operation to select all objects.

Principle #5 Consistency

Make sure that users know how to use your platform, affordance is A term used to refer to an attribute of an object that allows people to know how to use it .At a very simple level, to afford means to give a clue

Principle #6 Affordance

When you master the principles of design, any software you design will have a good user experience and solve problems.

Don Normans Principles of Design

Teslers law is also known as the law of conservation of complexity.It states that an application needs to have a certain amount of complexity that cannot be reduced. You can only simplify an application to a certain extent

What is the Teslers law 

This law is important because everywhere you look everyone is always saying to simplify and it is a good technique and idea to make good useful designs.The problem is when you simplify too much,you don't want to simplify to the point where the application is abstract.

Why is this law important

You can apply this to your designs in a number of different ways<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Make sure you know what the key things that your user needs to accomplish and the amount of energy and time it takes</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Ensure as much as possible of the burden is lifted from users by dealing with inherent complexity during design and development.</li></ul>

How can you apply this in your designs

True simplicity is improving or increasing the functionality and amount while reducing the complexity.True simplicity means being devioid of unecessary complexity, not making the product barely functional

What is true simplicity

Things that are complex for instance calculations and other things that are very hard for humans to accomplish delegate it to a computer for them to figure out

Delegate controls to the application

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Aim for exceeding the expectation without increasing the amount of cognitive load</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Provide clear and organized steps towards achieving the end result, ensuring that each state of your application fits properly into the flow.</li></ul>

The Inaction Intertia Effect states that when users don't take an opportunity to gain value or accept an offer, they are less likely to get it the second time.This could be related to the Cognitive Dissonance theory, which states that users want their actions to be consistent with what they already did.

What is the Inaction Inertia Effect?

One important way to apply the effect is don't offer the same discount to people twice, rather switch it up and offer a new oneThe less you price something the less valuable it seems to people so be sure not to charge too low

One important way to Apply The Inaction Intertia Effect

Another important way that you can apply the Inaction Inertia effect is to use long term gains rather than short term gains through discounts.

Another essential way to Apply the Inaction Intertia Effect

The Inaction Intertia Effect can improve your designs in countless ways learn how

Inaction Inertia Effect Related to UX Design

A reactant is when you make users do something they tend to do the opposite of what you want.So don't just tell someone to do something rather offer them some value or prompt them to come to the decision by themselves.

Reactant and how can it be utilized in your designs


People don't want to think. Period. It's that simple, so when you take the path of engagement simple, they will have a clear path and know what to do.

Use a Clear Path to increase Engagement

When making new designs, make the process familiar with what your users are already used to.IT is scientifically proven that users tend to like something more just because it is more familiar.

Use farmilarity Bias In your designs

Please think of the TV remote, it was overcomplicated, and thus, we rarely used many of the buttons.Don't put in new features for the 5% of users; instead, look for ways to keep it simple and declutter.

Don't Overcomplicate the design

Users have a much better and much easier time recognizing information than recalling it.Always display crucial details as clearly as possible to help users understand the current context and take the appropriate action.

Recongition over Recall

Designing for context is a very important part of designing. That is where User Research comes in when you design for context, your users will enjoy using the appFor instance in the spotify example if they designed for context then they would have figured out that the keyboard blocked some of the search filters.
