EasyChart: a Usability Teaching Tool to Demonstrate Interface Design from Hell - Demonstration
(Page 2 of 4 )
Our target in this section is to create a graph using the EasyChart tool, and in the process of doing it I’m going to explain what’s wrong with the working environment.
Launch Application
The following figure shows the initial window that is loaded when the user launches the application. Do you notice anything unusual with it? You don’t??!!

This window breaks the “Aesthetic and minimalist design” principle due to the long length of the window’s title. The title cannot be seen when you first start the application because it is longer that the width of the main content of the window. Remember that we want to use minimal information in an attempt not to disturb the user from the main content.
