Jakob Nielsen’s general principles for interaction design were published 25 years ago and today they are still relevant and useful in design work.

We collaborated with Google’s UX Researcher Kris Liu to create this handy visualization of 10 Usability Heuristics.

I hung this poster next to my desk and while working on mockups often glance at it to make sure I don’t forget something important. Also when I need to explain design decisions to other designers or engineers ten heuristics are very helpful!
