Click the Sway
It's easier to explore visual content on a Sway. Click the card below to see all the information in the article, but as a Sway with images, tables, score cards and word clouds and the video in a responsive format to the device you use - in theory :)
I'm practicing, this is a draft.
Image to Discuss
The rectangular frame is a third longer along its horizontal border, than its shorter vertical edge. For orientation, up and to the right is positive.
The entire background is dark gray. A circle in the centre, with an icon of a circuit inside it as well as the keywords: Hick’s Law.
Ten lines radiate from the perimeter of the circle splaying the frame in its entirety.
Moving around the circle, from the top right, down and around subtopics appear at the tips of each one of the ten lines.
The list of ten subtopics is:
- How critical is response time?
- How long is the longest response time? And what's the most frequent response time?
- How can we minimize choices?
- Is the task complex with multiple steps or simultaneous decisions?
- Is there a step-by-step documentation to see what can be broken down?
- How was the step-by-step created?
- progressive onboarding - bring users attention to tasks that build their ability to use the system.
- Is this too abstract? check in with someone way outside the scope of the project to check
- What elements or selections can be highlighted, or emphasized to help a user not get overwhelmed?
- Even if response time is not a critical factor. Why overwhelm the user with too many Choices? Where's the focus?
And in the top left-hand corner, in a photo layer collaged behind the text of the tenth subtopic, is a screenshot from the lawsofUX.com, from the Hick’s law page. Three titles are barely visible, Overview takeaways and origins, whereas the rest of the text is too small to read, and not significant in this context. The screenshot helps me to take notes and start my bubble draft.
Image as a Table
The image I discuss in the video presents here as a table. This table has two columns and ten major rows.
The first major row is titles for each column. in sequence, from the left-hand side to the right, the two column titles are: Keyword Phrase, Subtopic.
Each one of the ten major rows represents one subtopic associated with the keyword phrase, Hick’s Law.

Transcript Text
Hi, UX designers, this is Hilary Hilary Cluett. Welcome to Video number 25. It is Monday, January 25th. And we're going to use the bubble method to break down Hick's law. This is from the lawsofux.com And I don't know if you've been there lately, but there was a makeover. The site looks amazing, incredibly amazing, incredible. It looks great. So Hick's law. It's all about determining if you need a quick response time. So a question you can ask is how critical is response time? And even if response time is not a critical factor, Why overwhelm a user, you know, with too many choices? So where's the focus? What elements or selections can be highlighted or emphasized to help the user not get overwhelmed in the first place? And as you simplify, so the whole idea is simplifying, So that no one's getting overwhelmed. But there's an end to that where it eventually becomes abstract. So is this too abstract? Has this simplification now resulted in something too abstract and a way to check in To make sure that that's not the case is to check in with someone way outside the scope of the project, get them to check, is this too abstract? Can you follow this task? Do you see the focus? progressive onboarding. I just this this phrase Sounds strange to me progressive onboarding. To me, it means bring users' attention to tasks that build their ability to use the system. Right? So you're bringing your a user's attention to a task that builds their ability to use the system that you've designed. Is that what you think progressive onboarding means? Is there a step-by-step? We used to say that a lot in jewelry. So is there a step-by-step that tells you exactly what the recipe is to build this thing? Or do these systems? And is there documentation that you can reference? Or how was this step-by-step even created? Because depending on how detailed it is, then you can see how complex the actual task is, and the multiple steps that it takes to get there. Are there simultaneous decisions that need to be made? Is this task too complex to show every part at this one moment? I guess this is what Hick's law is really trying to get to: how can we minimize choices? And how long is the longest response time? And what's the most frequent response response time? What's the most frequent response time? Okay, so how can we minimize choices? And how can we make sure that response time is reasonable? That's Hick's. That was a long one. Let me know in the comments below what you think and if you saw the new website, Okay, bye see you tomorrow.
Keyword Frequency Table and Context
A table of twenty-one rows and three columns. The headings of each column are 1 Use Count 2 Keyword 3 Context.
The middle column lists the twenty keywords from the audio file, to its left is the use count, while to its right is the word in context.
If the same keyword occurs during the presentation, then the semi-colon punctuation character, in the Context column, delineates context of multiple instances.
The following twenty keywords are on the list: Bubble, Too Many Choices, Method, Onboarding, January 25th, Makeover, Response, Step, Overwhelmed, User, Minimize, Complex, Hilary, Hick, Abstract, Law, Detailed, Focus, Task, Progressive.
Tables, images, and alt text are all available on the Sway. It can open on any device. To view a table to list the keywords from the audio file, frequency of use, and context please open the Sway.
Word Cloud Image
Otter.ai generates this word cloud automatically when transcribing audio files to tangible text.
The rectangular frame is a third longer along its horizontal border, than its shorter vertical edge. For orientation, up and to the right is positive. The entire background is dark blue. Twenty words appear in various orientations and sizes across a rectangular frame. From the top left-hand side to the bottom the following twenty words appear: Bubble, Too Many Choices, Method, Onboarding, January 25th, Makeover, Response, Step, Overwhelmed, User, Minimize, Complex, Hilary, Hick, Abstract, Law, Detailed, Focus, Task, Progressive.
This is the same image from the title card of the YouTube Video except this image is branded by otter.ai with a dark navy-blue background with lighter blue, pink, green, purple, and grey writing to form the word cloud, where each word is written in different sizes and orientation.
