User interface design is the overall process of designing the interaction between a human (user) and a machine (computer). It includes graphic design, information design and a wide variety of usability methods.

Interfacedesign encompasses three distinct, but related constructs--usability, visualization, and functionality (Vertelney, Arent, & Lieberman, 1990).
Recently, a fourth component of interfacedesign has emerged as a critical factor--accessibility.
Interfacedesign is most often associated with the development of Web pages, computer software, and multimedia, but is relevant to the creation of any instructional media or technical equipment.
There appears to be some controversy amongst researchers and user interfacedesigners as to whether it is better to use an integral metaphor or a composite metaphor.
In this case, the interface element was drawn from the travel metaphor (figure 5), and therefore the correct response would be TourBook, the same as in the integral travel condition.
Half the interface elements in the composite metaphor condition were identical to the interface elements in the integral library metaphor condition and the other half were identical to the elements in the integral travel metaphor condition.
