9. The principle of “knowing your user” in UI design focuses on .

(a) Enhancing accessibility (b) Understanding user needs and preferences
(c) Improving navigation speed (d) Adding more complex elements
10. What is the role of “storyboarding” in user-centred design?
(a) To map out the journey of user interactions with the product

(b) To create complex animations
(c) To develop alternative user interfaces
(d) To determine product pricing

II. Fill in the blanks.

1. User-centred design (UCD) focuses on making products that meet users’ needs, providing value at every step
of the process.

2. UPI apps like PhonePe and Paytm are designed with a and straightforward interface to make the
process of making digital payments easy.

3. A is a fictional profile created to represent different types of users who may interact with a product.
4. Ergonomics is the science of designing products, systems, and environments to enhance comfort, safety, and
.
5. In the context of a digital app, involves designing for seamless and meaningful user interactions.
6. To make the UI more accessible, elements like Google’s feature on Android provide spoken
feedback for visually impaired users.

7. In UI design, feedback ensures the interface communicates with the user, confirming actions or alerting them
to .

8. A interface serves a single, specific function without offering multiple uses, like a frying pan for
cooking.

9. A interface allows users to control the system through physical gestures, such as swipe or pinch
actions.

10. In the process, designers often create storyboards to visually map out the journey of a user
interacting with the product.

III. State True or False.

1. The primary goal of interface design is to create visually appealing layouts, with minimal focus on functionality.
2. Storyboarding is used in user-centred design to visually map out user journeys and interactions.
3. In interface design, providing feedback to the user is unnecessary, as they will figure out the actions performed
on their own.
4. Ergonomics in design only considers the physical aspects of user interaction.

5. Consistency in UI design helps users understand and navigate the interface more intuitively.
IV. Short answer type questions.

1. What do you mean by user-centred design (UCD)?
2. What is a user persona, and why is it important in design?
3. What role does feedback play in user interface design?
