Before, my understanding of a great user-experience design would consider the hierarchy of color, scale, fonts or even different kinds of buttons. However, this week’s readings brought me brand new insights of user-experience. It was really intriguing to see how Spotify put the “adding” button on the top of the list, instead of making it at the bottom of the existing list. Before I finished reading this, I tended to guess putting the button at the bottom would be the best way to solve the problem, because users actually didn’t need to go back to the top to click the button. However, after reading the paragraph and I re-considered this issue, I realized that actually they organized the songs in the list in a different way so that users wouldn’t need to scroll down a lot to find a specific list. In this case, it was a great idea to put the buttons on the top of those lists.

Also, the idea of drop down of segment buttons are brilliant, which I haven’t noticed that before. The only buttons that I remembered before was toggle buttons that had a relatively high hierarchy. Nevertheless, I also like the idea of confirmation. For being a user myself, sometimes, I might delete or add something by mistakes. Therefore, I believe it is actually a great insight to re-enforce the idea of confirmation for users.

Nevertheless, there are also a key takeaway for me, that is the Jackob’s Law. I used to consider this behavior would be related to norms or something related to psychology. I totally agree that users expect certain functionalities to be located in certain places. For instance, without looking at a website, I would assume the logo and the company’s name are located at the top-left corner of the page; and also the personal setting button would be at the top-right corner. This is the most interesting part that I found during reading this article. Still, I think this kind of user’s behavior might be changed when websites become more and more interactive.
