Interface Design
To use a product be it a website, game, software, electronics, handheld devices, etc. depends on the kind of interface it carries. An interface exhibits various functions that a product can perform or the kind of capabilities it has. But the product can be used to its optimum capacity when the interface is user friendly.

The Project
As a part of the classroom project we were asked to structure an entertainment portal for Ahmedabad city. The prime objcetive of the whole exercise was to develop a navigational structure where the user would have to go through minimum number of 'clicks' to book tickets online for a movie. Other than this the portal offered city news, music information, restaurant guide etc. The course was taken by Ms. Apalla Lahiri from Human Factors India.
