Att läsa eller inte läsa en "guideline"
En aktionsforskningsstudie angående externa riktlinjer i ett interaktionsdesignprojekt
As part of an Agile developing team I have in my role as interaction designer also tried to evaluate the ?iPhone Human Interface Guidelines?. With action research I have taken actions to change the workflow and to see what there can be done to make the guidelines more motivating to use. Action 1 tried to make the iPhone components more available and it suceeded, action 2 tried to make the guideline more available in whole and did not work as it was designed to do. The guidelines did not work as a source of inspiriation and I and my fellow designer distanciated us from it. The solution to make the guidelines more inspirational would be to narrow the text and to give it more instructional pictures instead.
