Story
Whether you’re a student in college, a design professional, or an author of a book, you have all experienced the clutter of notes, reminders, memos, drawings, and documents scattered across the surface of your desk. There comes a point in this chaotic, unorganized display, when your tidy instinct begs for some order.
If your lucky, you quickly find materials you can use: a binder, file folders with the colored tabs, paper clips, even a stapler. You initially grab the content, sort and filter as a means for organizing and making order. As you organize, you may classify the data by such relationships as (see Chapter 3, Display of Information):
Nominal - uses labels and names to categorize data.
Ordinal - using numbers to order things in sequence.
Alphabetical - using the order of the alphabet to organize nominal data.
Geographical - using location, such as city, state, country, to organize data.
Topical - organizing data by topic or subject.
Task - organizing data based on processes, tasks, functions and goals.
Patterns for Lateral Access
Using appropriate and consistent lateral access widgets will provide an alternative way to present and manipulate content serially. Within this chapter, the following patterns will be discussed, based on how the human mind organizes and navigates information:
Tabs– Based on the concept of file folder tabs, these elements are used to separate and clearly communicate, sets of pages or features at the same level in the information architecture.
Peel Away – An organic and animated representation of a page being flipped over to reveal a second page behind it.
Simulated 3D Effects – Displays and alternate view to the content on the page using 3D graphics. When device gestures or viewer movements are used, these items affected will follow the presumed physics or correctly represent the space they occupy.
Pagination –Serially displays a location within a set of pages. Offers the ability and function to navigate between pages easily and quickly.
Location Within –An indicator is required to show the current page location within series of several screens of similar or continuous information. This is presented with an organic access method.
