“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

Darroch, I., Goodman, J., Brewster, Stephen A. and Gray, P. (2005): The Effect of Age and Font Size on Reading Text on Handheld Computers. In: Proceedings of IFIP INTERACT05: Human-Computer Interaction 2005. pp. 253-266.

“Though there have been many studies of computer based text reading, only a few have considered the small screens of handheld computers. This paper presents an investigation into the effect of varying font size between 2 and 16 point on reading text on a handheld computer. By using both older and younger participants the possible effects of age were examined. Reading speed and accuracy were measured and subjective views of participants recorded. Objective results showed that there was little difference in reading performance above 6 point, but subjective comments from participants showed a preference for sizes in the middle range. We therefore suggest, for reading tasks, that designers of interfaces for mobile computers provide fonts in the range of 8-12 point to maximize readability for the widest range of users.”

Gray, P. and Kilgour, Alistair C. (1985): GUIDE: A UNIX-Based Dialogue Design System. In: Johnson, Peter and Cook, Stephen (eds.) Proceedings of the Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers I August 17-20, 1985, University of East Anglia. pp. 148-160.

“This paper describes GUIDE, a graphical user interface design environment currently being implemented at the Computing Science Department of Glasgow University. Dialogues are described by dialogue scripts which are sections of the file system maintained by the UNIX operating system on which GUIDE is built. The directories correspond to dialogue units, consisting of individual files (and subdirectories) which define the components (such as prompt, echo, response etc.) of an individual unit of interaction. Most of the files are text files so they can be simply modified by an editor. A graphics editor is planned which will permit direct graphical control over the dialogue component. The other elements of GUIDE are a dialogue interpreter, which executes a dialogue by traversing the script structure in response to input events, and a dialogue design script, which when executed by the interpreter permits other dialogue scripts to be constructed or modified. The dialogue designer, thus, uses the same interactive tools as are made available to the dialogue user, as in the MENULAY system of Buxton et al., and the whole dialogue design system is available as a subdialogue during execution of any script by the interpreter. GUIDE is intended to provide fast prototyping, because no compilation stage is involved before trying out a newly modified script. The paper describes the structure of dialogue scripts and the implementation of the interpreter, and an example is included showing the application of GUIDE to the simulation of simple data structure algorithms.”
