5-Ying Yu Hong


In the old YouTube design, users have to think of and type in keywords to look for a video, which is inconvenient and they may not get the result they want if they didn't enter an accurate description. While in my new design, after users type in words, YouTube will give some advanced suggestions in pictures. Users only need to browse the pictures and click on the categories to narrow down the search results. It is a useful technique to improves the user experience of searching videos and helps users choose a video easier and can meet their needs and wants effectively as well.

In the Third law of usability, Kurg suggested a good design should "Get rid of half the words in each page, then get rid of half of what's left." This is important to keep a design layout clean and get rid of the unnecessary features for simplicity. Therefore, I think I should keep the front page simple and reduce the words because pictures are explicit enough.
