Luke has yet another post delving into the details of form design, this time concentrating on address collection. He presented an interesting example that shows how an effort to simplify may in fact be a step in the wrong direction, it’s definitely worth the quick read. An interesting observation in his second example that popped up, was how Apple placed the form fields in the same physical location and order as you would when filling out an envelope. Making the form feel as familiar as possible, even those more used to paper email then digital.
I have to confess I’m a bit of a fan boy, Luke’s upcoming book should be due out soonish and its tops on my to-buy list.
