Banana In UX Terms

This article has probably been written god knows how many times — but what I want you to understand is that what makes a banana great isn't just the mellow taste, but the entire experience of it. And that is something you should understand about any UX you create.

Visual Cue: The color of a banana indicates when it is ready to be eaten.

Just one look tells you whether the banana is edible or not. This leads us to our first inference.

Wherever possible, use color, pattern, or even text and iconography to indicate the status of elements.

Mobility: We can eat Bananas Wherever, Whenever.

The peel of banana not only protects the fruit inside but also allows you to eat it anywhere, at any time.

Make certain that your solutions are mobile. By mobile, I don't mean your smartphone; rather, you must ensure that your users have access to information that is relevant and important at the time.

Usability: Bananas are easy to eat.

A banana is one of the simplest fruits to eat because it is easy to peel and consume, and it contains no seeds or other irritants. This leads me to the broadest but most important point.

Make your user interface as simple as possible. Because, in the end, people prefer simple-to-use products.

Availability: Bananas are everywhere.

Bananas are everywhere. Almost every supermarket, mall, and market have at least one banana stand. The fact that it is widely available is instructive in and of itself, which leads us to the next point.

Make your product widely available. What exactly does this mean? Don't limit your design to a single device. Create a responsive design.

Accessibility: Yes, bananas might be more accessible than your website.

The banana's spots appear when it ripens. Colorblind people may have difficulty distinguishing the colors, but the spots that appear as a pattern are a dead giveaway that the fruit is ready. This brings me to my last point.

Utilize patterns in addition to colors to make designs more accessible.

How have bananas inspired us over the years?

You don't have to peel the entire thing at once; peel some of the skin, take a bite, peel some more, and take another bite, and so on.

It's no surprise that the same UX concept has been used in the food industry, such as in McDonald's when they serve a wrap. Alternatively, how we are served rolls wrapped in paper. Or how about some Cornetto ice cream?
