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.
