This chapter explores the difference between everyday language and system language, emphasizing the importance of intentional design for clear and intuitive interfaces. It also discusses the role of conceptual clarity and the potential use of shapes and colors to express conceptual conventions.
Elizabeth McGuane is a UX director at Shopify and the author of Design by Definition, a book about the impact of language in user experience. As you might imagine, that’s a subject I’m keenly interested in, so I was excited to speak with Elizabeth about it.
