👋 Hello Designers!

Let’s explore another essential principle of UI/UX design — Fitts’s Law.

The goal of this task is to design a realistic UI screen that demonstrates how the size and placement of interactive elements affect ease of interaction and usability.

⸻

📘 Fitts’s Law

Fitts’s Law states that the time required to reach and interact with a target depends on its size and distance.

Larger and closer interactive elements are easier and faster to click or tap, making this principle especially important for:
• Buttons
• Icons
• Touch interfaces
• Frequently used actions

⸻

🧩 Task

Design a UI layout that visually demonstrates Fitts’s Law by placing and sizing interactive elements in a way that makes them easy to reach and interact with.

The screen should look like a real, usable product interface, not just isolated components.
Your design must include basic UI elements such as a top navigation bar or header.

⸻

❌ vs ✅ Explanation
• ❌ Small or distant targets are harder to reach and slow down interaction
• ✅ Larger and well-placed targets improve speed, accuracy, and user experience

⸻

📋 Your design should:
• Clearly show how size and placement affect usability
• Highlight the difference between hard-to-reach and easy-to-reach elements
• Make the improvement in interaction obvious to the user

⸻

📦 What to Include
• A realistic UI screen with interactive elements
• Use button size, spacing, and placement as primary design tools
• Example elements you may use:
• Primary and secondary buttons
• Floating action buttons
• Navigation icons
• Call-to-action elements

Optional:
• Two sections or states (poor vs improved placement)
• Subtle visual cues to emphasize accessibility
