Don Norman's seven principles of design cover discoverability, affordance, signifiers, feedback, mapping, constraints, and conceptual models. They are used to surface usability issues in digital interfaces during heuristic reviews and UX redesign proposals.

Evaluating digital interfaces for usability issues involves performing a principle-by-principle assessment. By providing interface descriptions, representative tasks, and optional screenshots, you can identify flaws in discoverability, feedback, and mapping to improve intuitive use.

Yes, Don Norman's principles are applicable to both web and mobile interface design evaluations. By analyzing representative tasks and interface descriptions, the audit identifies usability issues across mobile platforms to improve intuitive use and reduce cognitive load.

Yes, Don Norman's principles audit supports integration with Nielsen heuristics or IxDF methodologies. Combining these frameworks allows for a more holistic UX assessment of digital interfaces during design audits and redesign proposals.

Preparing for a UX audit requires an interface description and representative tasks. Optional screenshots can also be provided to perform a principle-by-principle evaluation and generate actionable recommendations for improving intuitive use and reducing cognitive load.
