​​Topic 7 -Consistency in UI Design: Creativity Without Confusion- Introduction

​​                                      

​​Consistency creates familiarity, and familiar interfaces are naturally more usable. 

​​一致性創造了熟悉度，而熟悉的介面自然更好用。

​​                                  

​​Imagine the frustration of finding the perfect car, only to discover that the accelerator is on the right and the brake on the left. Or, in a digital context, if you’re breezing through a web form and come across a “Delete” button highlighted in green. 

​​想像找一部完美車子的挫折感，只有發現到油門在右方、煞車在左方，或者在數位情境裡，如果你在迅速地操作網頁表單時遇到“刪除”按鈕被標成綠色亮點。

​​ 

​​While design inconsistencies are usually never that dramatic, even seemingly insignificant deviations create friction for users. If the search box appears on the top right on the homepage, but appears on the top left for other pages, then the user must expend unnecessary energy relearning the interface on every page. 

​​雖然不一致設計經常不是引入注意的，即使是微不足道的偏離也會對使用者產生阻力。如果搜尋框在首頁頂端右方，但在其它頁面出現在頂端左方，使用者必須花費不必要的精力重新學習每個頁面介面。 

​​                                        

​​Consistency, however, does not equal uniformity. Design shouldn’t just be a game of templates, but should reflect the usability advantages of existing patterns. Understand why certain interaction design patterns are effective, then use them as a foundation for your 

​​creativity. Over time, you might even develop even better patterns. 

​​一致性（Consistency) ，然而，不等同於均一性（uniformity)，設計不該只是種遊戲模板，而是應該反射出存在模板的易用性優勢。瞭解為何特定的互動設計模板是有效的，然後使用它們當作你創意的基礎。隨著時間的經過，你可能甚至能開發出更好的模板。                        

​​                                                                                 

​​Our goal with this book is to help you strike the right balance between consistency and creativity. To help illustrate our points, we’ve analyzed visual best practices from companies like Reddit, Jawbone, Dolce & Gabbana, and Amazon. To keep you on the right track, we’ll also explore examples of what not to do. 

​​本書目標希望幫你在一致性和創意間找到平衡，為了幫助圖解我們的觀點，我們已經從像是Reddit,Jawbone,Dolce&Gabbana和Amazon公司分析了最好的視覺應用，為了讓你在正確的軌道上，我們也會探索不能去做什麼的例子。
