UI Design Patterns
10 Great Sites for UI Design Patterns
You donât want to spend your whole life redesigning the wheel do you? No, neither do we. If you are looking for a design that solves a problem that has been solved inside a different application before; then the template for your wheel is probably already out there. Thatâs a design pattern to you and me.

User Interface Design patterns
User Interface Design patterns are recurring solutions that solve common design problems. Design patterns are standard reference points for the experienced user interface designer.
10 UI Design Patterns You Should Be Paying Attention To
Design patterns were first described in the 1960s by Christopher Alexander, an architect who noticed that many things in our lives happen according to patterns. He adapted his observations to his work and published many findings on the topic. Since then, design patterns have found their place in many areas of our lives, and can be found in the design and development of user interfaces as well.

9 Crucial UI Features of Social Media and Networking Sites
The main function of a good user interface is to provide users with an intuitive mapping between userâs intention and applicationâs function that manages to provide a solution to the given task. Basically, user interface describes the way people interact with a site and the way users can access its functions. In fact, usability is a biproduct of a good user interface and it determines how easily a user can perform all of the functions provided by the site. Usability is a crucial part of every design, especially on websites with a large amount of functions and users.

Fake It ‘Til You Make ItâFrom a UX Point of View
Rapid Prototyping, Faking It Until You Make it in a UX Driven World
The idea of âfaking it, until you make itâ is not new but it has a unique UX twist. The ability to develop and test prototypes at rapid rates of iteration lets you âfakeâ new products, get user feedback and make improvements without ever âmaking the productâ until you have things just right. This can be a very valuable way of making a small budget go a long way.

Mental Models
A mental model diagram is a fishbone or horizon diagram where the top towers represent individuals’ motivations, emotions, and stories related to their experience in achieving a particular goal, regardless of the tools they use.
Mental Models
by JAKOB NIELSEN
Summary: What users believe they know about a UI strongly impacts how they use it. Mismatched mental models are common, especially with designs that try something new.

Mental Model Diagrams (Cartoon)
By Indi Young and Brad Colbow
Summary: We tend to carefully create our HTML and CSS, and meticulously place every pixel to our designs. We plan exactly where our content should be placed on a particular site. Among many other decisions we need to make, we always keep in mind to craft a great experience for all our users. But how do we know what our users really want?
