Using Layout Templates

We can define layout templates for screens that have common attributes, such as warning messages and emergency screens. Subsequently, we can use these templates to generate the particular screens.

Avoiding Layout Templates

  Screens used for routine operation should be distinguishable at a glance. These screens are identified by primary visual cues -- they should not share a common layout.

  Use secondary visual cues, such as colors and images, to enable fast recognition of the particular screens.

  Use special visual cues to enable recognition of exceptional situation, such as exceptional interaction modes.
