Hi, my name is Anwar. 0:09
I'm a designer, a developer and a teacher at Treehouse. 0:11
In this course I'll teach you how to apply Apple's Human Interface 0:15
Guidelines when designing apps intended for the iOS platform. 0:19
Apple's human interface guidelines have been publicly 0:24
available since at least 1987, 0:28
when Apple released a textbook, aimed at creating a consistent 0:31
interaction experience for users of Apple and Macintosh computers. 0:36
Long before mobile devices, and even before the dawn of the World Wide Web, 0:41
Apple laid out principles that sound pretty relevant to UX designers today. 0:46
Emphasizing that consistency makes it easier for 0:51
a user to learn new applications. 0:56
And the user, not the computer, 0:58
initiates and controls all actions. 1:02
While Apple's devices have evolved a bit since 1987, the principles 1:06
behind today's Human Interface Guidelines are really not so different. 1:12
In this course, 1:17
we'll examine Apple's Human Interface Guidelines as they pertain to iOS apps. 1:19
These guidelines allow designers to create a consistent experience familiar 1:24
to anyone who has interacted with an Apple product and to design applications 1:30
that allow users meaningful control over their interactive journey. 1:35
Apple has three key iOS design themes. 1:40
Clarity, Deference, and Depth. 1:44
To understand each theme, 1:51
it's helpful to look at how iOS design has evolved since 2007, 1:53
the year Apple introduced the iPhone. 1:58
