Abstract
The purpose of the present study concerns
the examination of a scenario involving the
visualizing of content at mobile devicesplatforms
and their respective applications. The
scenario follows certain design principles that
cater for interaction with inexperienced users
within the interface of mobile devices. The visual
design of an artifact obviously influences the way
in which a user will interact with it. Gestalt laws
and principles form one possible framework for
the collection of helpful design guidelines. Based
on field research, a prototype has been developed
according to these principles. The results of a
evaluation by users on the proposed visualization
of content, are finally discussed.
