From all these experiences the most important thing I have learned is that legibility and beauty stand close together and that type design, in its restraint, should be only felt but not perceived by the reader.

Last week at San Francisco's SOLID Conference, Andy Goodman, group director of Fjord, shared his thoughts on what he thinks the new paradigm of design will be like when our interfaces are no longer constrained by screens, and instead turn to haptic, automated, and ambient interfaces. He calls it Zero UI.

What does UI design look like after screens go away? Fjord's Andy Goodman explains.

Reification is an aspect of perception in which the object as perceived contains more spatial information than what is actually present. As we attempt to match what we see to the familiar patterns we have stored in memory, there isn’t always an exact match. Instead we find a near match and then fill in the gaps of what we think we should see.

Reification suggests that we don’t need to present the complete outline in order of viewers to see it. We can leave out parts of the outline as long as we provide enough of it to allow for a close enough pattern match.

for example there is no triangle in the photo, however our brains sees one regardless.

The law of similarity states that, given a choice by the brain, you will select the simplest and most stable form to concentrate on. This law stresses the importance of basic shapes in the form of squares, circles, and triangles.” Thats means that the brain attribute similar shapes to the same group associating them with some special meaning. If there is a row of diamonds the brian don’t perceive all figures separately, it rather see them as a single row of diamonds.

It’s important to emphasize the needed elements, if you want the users to identify them first when looking at your graphics. Human minds immediately notice all forms and shapes, colors and lines that look matching. It sets the whole patterns quicker than some separate pattern elements. And we find it visually pleasant to look at the pattern items playing together. That’s the reason why we like website designs featuring repeating textures, shapes, brightness and colors.
