Abstract:
A characteristic of the digital interface is its multidimensionality. However, its design continues to be influenced by multiple remediations, mainly from printed media, which give the interface a flat surface, suppressing its communicative and interactive potential. Interface design has dealt with this problem fragmentedly, focusing on specific elements. For the students, there remains the need to visualize the blurred screen depth. This paper outlines the multidimensionality of the interface in terms of use and aesthetics. To this end, it draws the boundaries for the aesthetics of the screen and interaction dimensions, combining 30 years of experience teaching digital design with the current literature on the topic. The results establish design dimensions that contribute to understanding the interface's imagistic potential in terms of use and aesthetics. In addition, the results highlight some of the challenges to be addressed by designers.
