Accurate Solutions
T/F: The seven principles for user input design include: layout, content
awareness, aesthetics, user experience, consistency and minimize user effort.
True
T/F: The seven principles for user input design include: layout, correctness, white
space, readability, font/color selection,
storyboard, and minimize user effort.
False
T/F: The concern from user experience is two-fold: ease of use and ease of learning.
True
T/F: Interfaces should be functional and inviting to users through careful use of white
space, colors and fonts. This is part of the
'layout' principle of user interface design.
False
T/F: Most screen designs (like for Windows or Macintosh) follow the concept of three
areas: top for navigation, the middle for
display of the user's work, and the bottom for status information.
True

Excel, you also have menu items (like Home, Insert, Page Layout).
True
T/F: People in western nations tend to read from top to bottom and left to right.
True
T/F: User interface design is completed by users under the direction of the
project sponsor.
False
T/F: Content Awareness refers to the ability of an interface to make the user aware
of the information it contains with the least amount of effort by the user.
True
T/F: When designing forms, it is better to get more information on the form as fewer
forms with more information is better than several pages of forms covering the
same information.
False
T/F: Ting-you has been assigned to create a new customer input screen. There is a lot
of information to be captured and not much room. She is using abbreviated field
name labels - like LName or FName or ADDR or ST. This is a sagacious use of such
abbreviations.
False
T/F: Forms should have version numbers so that users, analysts and programmers
can identify outdated materials.
, True
T/F: Aesthetics refers to designing information that can be navigated in three-clicks or
less.
False
T/F: Space is generally at a premium on forms and reports , thus
squeezing information onto forms is considered a wise business decision.
False
T/F: If the density on a single page form is too high, it might not be as effective
for some users as creating a two-page form.
True
T/F: Novice or infrequent users of an interface (both paper and screen)
prefer interfaces with low density like under 25%.
False
T/F: Generally headings on a paper form should be with Arial size 24 bold; the main
text should be Times New Roman size 12. Subheadings should be Tahoma size 14,
bold and italic and underlined. This makes a form easier to read and to delineate
sections.
False
T/F: Omar has designed a paper form using 'sans serif' fonts and for his screen

design practices.
False
