Meaning

Meaning is crucial to how humans perceive and interact with the world. In design, meaning refers to users’ ability to make sense of presented information. Confusion can arise when information lacks clarity or fails to connect with users’ existing knowledge and experiences. To prevent this, you must create interfaces that convey clear and coherent meaning by establishing logical relationships between elements, providing contextual cues, and facilitating intuitive navigation paths.
