  • Create a      mock-up interface for the project.
  • Use at least      3 user interface design techniques.
  • Ensure that      the interface can track information (e.g., name, aliases, location,      nationality, product, price, picture, notes, quantity, street address,      etc.). Remember that these will vary based on the organization.
  • The screen      should be able to do the following:
    • Open
    • Close
    • Minimize
    • Maximize
  • Submit a      screenshot in Word or another application (if functional), and confirm      with your instructor that the file type is acceptable if it is not a Word      document

  • You      must add at least 5 critical issue UI design items to your interface.      Remember to ensure that these are easily understood by users.
  • Submit      a screenshot in Word. Or a functional application if pre-approved by your      instructor.
