Chapter 9. Visual Presentation Principles

You must design the elements of your interface to convey a coherent interface image. An interface image is composed of all the elements on the screen. If your interface does not accurately convey the function of its elements, users will try to create their own context for the tasks. However, their context might not correspond to the functions of your interface.

To develop an application interface that integrates function and design, you must employ visual presentation principles throughout the design process.
