Based on what I've read (which might not have been very extensive),
faces unfortunately do have an effect on users--but I think you can
use that to your advantage in this argument.

Users tend to fixate on pictures of faces. The
Have you seen this presentation from Joshua Porter? It seems to be
aimed towards online software, but many of the same principles would
apply.

I think the chart is clear, except that it doesn't specify whether
the numbers represent days, months, years, etc.
Also, is there any reason why someone would want to look at the chart
in order to track a particular character? The text expains everything,
but there are no visual clues as to the
Two patterns come to mind, which aren't particularly unusual but are
still worth considering.
First, here's an example from MediaMonkey (music library software):

Instead of using tabs, which are hard to read and can't be
organized,
Big surprise!
Though it's last-minute, I'll enjoy the extra time. I'll try to
get some other RPI students to enter, too.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a precedent for a certain pattern
in a physical interface, such as a control panel or remote control.
The challenge is that a particular control panel design has multiple
states; in a given state, some functions are available while other
functions are
For my submission, I plan to organize the report (largely)
chronologically and include: problem definition, user needs,
questions for research and prototyping, research findings, initial
objectives and specs, a description of each iteration with the
reasoning behind each design decision,
Those look interesting. Thanks for the links.
The CMU page seems to refer to design notebooks rather than
deliverables. The others appear to have a strong focus on layout and
graphic/information design, but they have the same types of content
that I'd put in a design report.
I also found
This is a great concept.
I'm confused about one thing, though that might only be because I
can't try it out. Resizing a window (to allow more content to fit
onto the screen) is different than zooming. Does this system allow
for both actions?
Also, this does a lot for the interaction on the OS
I was just reading the manual for a program (TortoiseSVN, a client for
a particular version control system): middle-clicking on the maximize
button vertically maximizes the window; right-click does the
horizontal maximize.
I agree. The key problem for me is that Amazon is the only site where
I have to click on My Account before signing in rather than
