In broad terms, user-centered design (UCD) is a type of user interface design and a
process in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are
given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.

Typography (from the Greek words
凌 (typos) = form and 粒留流
(graphe) = writing) is the art and
technique of arranging type in order
to make language visible. The
arrangement of type involves the
selection of typefaces, point size, line
length, leading (line spacing),
adjusting the spaces between groups
of letters (tracking) and adjusting the
space between pairs of letters
(kerning[2]).

Editor's Notes

  • #30: Since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio. The rationale behind it is the belief that this proportion is organic, universal, harmonic and aesthetically pleasing. Indeed, being evident everywhere in the universe (in fact, many things around us can be expressed in this ratio), divine proportion (which is also called Golden ratio, divine section, golden cut and mean of Phidias) is probably the most known law of proportion which can dramatically improve the communication of your design.
