How does a user interface designer create interfaces?

The Creation of a User Interface

The creation of a user interface undergoes several steps and iterations. The designer first makes a list of the functions that will need to be performed through or by the interface by taking requirements gathered from potential users of the system. Next, they begin to sketch example interfaces on paper and design paper prototypes that they then test themselves and on a small group of other possible users.

Once a good design has been chosen, it is created on a computer and immediately put into vigorous testing by users. This testing is designed to flush out bugs in the interface, as well as to ensure the inactivity of the interface. If any changes need to be made to the interface, they are made and the changes are tested. Once testing is completed, the finished interface is produced and used in the real world.
