Voiturelib. The Need to Complete | Hugo Liu's Taste Blog. Jason shah. AirBnb. Udemy. Udemy. Skillshare. Skillshare. Skillshare. Congrats. A_Deewey. A_Deewey. Why the new task UI in Taskrabbit has great behavioral design - garry's posterous. Taskrabbit is a cool service that helps people list local tasks that they'd like to hire people to do. It's also a great example of behavioral design-- helping users not just complete the task but want to do it as well.

Here's the new task UI: 1) Great copy is great communication Copy is UI, UI is copy. The only way you can explain what's happening on the screen is by the text and elements on the screen. They work together. Remember that as a designer, you must design with intention in mind, but evaluate what you create with beginner's eyes. Clear your mind, read what you've got, and if it doesn't make sense, then explain. 2) Great use of contrast to determine what's important and what's more information You'll notice the darkest pieces of information (highest contrast) are the headers for the specific inputs. Some products mistake extreme brevity for being simple. If they care, they'll read it. 3) Show a lot of examples It's the worst when UI doesn't show an example at all. DO THIS.
