Basic Principles of Mobile Interface and Experience Design and an Application

It is not possible to think of mobile interface design independently of the brain, perceptions, human behavior, sociology and psychology. A successful experience design can only be designed based on empirical and pragmatic perspectives on what the human mind can and cannot do, and how long it takes the mind and body to perform certain tasks. Before aesthetic concerns, it is necessary to analyze how the brain works, how the eye sees, the cognitive abilities of people, and the cultural and sociological characteristics of people. In short, it is necessary to understand people well. In this way, more usable, more useful interface and experience designs can be made. The smartphone market, worth one hundred eighty seven and a half billion dollars in 2021, has become one of the most important sectors for designing user-friendly interfaces and experiences, with sales of over one billion, although it decreased in 2023. Research in the field also indicates that mobile usability-oriented studies are increasing. Such studies provide industry practitioners with the necessary insights to design interfaces that can be adopted by users. Considering that the Alpha generation will perhaps not recognize the "click" interaction at all and will encounter only by touching or newer forms of interaction, new principles and design methods for this field need to be examined. Usability is one of the main quality elements in interactive systems and especially in mobile interfaces. Traditional methods, usability evaluations and principles in mobile interface design processes do not fully comply with the nature of these devices. Adapting traditional usability and design principles in new ways, and examining the context of mobile usage more deeply and evaluating them together with the principles have also gained importance. In this study, the basics of interface and experience design in mobile systems are examined. As a result of the literature review, the process for improving the interface design and user experience was discussed over the application designed by the researchers.
