Want feedback: Interface Elements
I have used the following categories to identify all of the elements in a
given
user interface ³snapshot². This is a static (not dynamic or interactive)
tool that
has served well, and I would love feedback.
Specifically, can you think of any possible
user interface elements that would not fit into one of these categories?
Categories:
1. Navigation (top-level, sub-level, links, search, etc.)
2. Descriptive Content/Labels (user notifications, headers, titles,
banner/logo, copyright, etc.)
3. Actions (email, print, export, send, product-specific functions, etc.)
4. View modifiers (content presentation, content manipulation, filters,
sorters, etc.)
5. Data/Results/Content
I then overlay style/type/color and IxD patterns on top of this.
Best regards,
Russ

It may suggest a different way to look at what you are doing.
