Condition
The goal		Introduction to cognitive abilities of human, basics of everyday psychology, visualization anf graphic design in order to create an interface that will guarantee maximum usability. Forcing of disciplined interface development using modern technologies with their evaluation.
The outcome		Students will be able to design an effective graphical user interface applications based on the knowledge of human abilities and guiding design principles. Also, they will be able to apply the learned principles using different implementation models and to perform evaluation of implemented solutions.
