Look and feelIn software design, the look and feel of a graphical user interface comprises aspects of its design, including elements such as colors, shapes, layout, and typefaces (the "look"), as well as the behavior of dynamic elements such as buttons, boxes, and menus (the "feel"). The term can also refer to aspects of a non-graphical user interface (such as a command-line interface), as well as to aspects of an API – mostly to parts of an API that are not related to its functional properties.
Strategic designStrategic design is the application of future-oriented design principles in order to increase an organization's innovative and competitive qualities. Its foundations lie in the analysis of external and internal trends and data, which enables design decisions to be made on the basis of facts rather than aesthetics or intuition. The discipline is mostly practiced by design agencies or by internal development departments. "Traditional definitions of design often focus on creating discrete solutions—be it a product, a building, or a service.
Conception universelleLa conception universelle, également appelée conception pour tous, design universel, design inclusif ou encore design trans-générationnel, est la conception de tout aménagement, produit, équipement, programme ou service qui puisse être utilisé par toute personne, sans nécessiter ni d'adaptation ni de conception spéciale, et ce quels que soient son sexe, son âge, sa situation ou son handicap. Cette notion renvoie à l'accessibilité et est mentionnée dans la Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées.
