Nobody wants to sit for hours trying to figure out how to use a specific device because that just leads to frustration. This is why the design of a user interface plays a vital role. If the system is uncomplicated, the interaction between the user and the system becomes pleasant. When designing a user interface the aspects that should be considered are: intuitive and consistent design, maintainability, clarity and attractiveness.
Attractiveness:
The interface should be aesthetically pleasing this will instantly grab the customers attention. The target market must be considered because the interface must be appropriate for the particular user.
