2.0 Week Overview & Learning Objectives

1.0 The Psychology Behind Great Design

This week, we dive into the psychological principles that make designs feel intuitive or frustrating. The Laws of UX aren’t arbitrary rules; they’re time-tested principles derived from cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction research. Understanding these laws will transform your design decisions from subjective opinions to evidence-based strategies.

The Mindset Shift:

  • From: “I think this looks better”

  • To: “This approach is supported by (UX Law) because it reduces cognitive load/improves efficiency/builds on existing mental models”

1.1 Learning Objectives

By the end of this week, you will be able to:

  1. Explain the 8 core UX laws and their psychological foundations

  2. Identify real-world applications of each law in popular digital products

  3. Apply UX laws to critique and improve existing interfaces

  4. Defend design decisions using evidence-based psychological principles

  5. Recognise when and why users struggle with poorly designed interfaces

  6. Create design solutions that align with human cognitive capabilities
