Interface Design Concepts

The two of the three sketches (Figures 1, and 2) are basic concepts of
design ideas. They represent different groupings of search and
results. Figure 1 begins with tabs which represent different search
methods, then within each tab the user is given the ability to search
the results or move through them. This was my initial concept, based on
the idea that searching for the movies should be broken up into a series
of steps. Figure 2 is less concerned with how to search as how
information should be displayed so the main point of this concept was
the separation of searching and results.
Figure 3 is a combination of figures 1 and 2. With both tabs and the
partitioning of search and results. The tabs in this design are for
separating searches from browsing since from our discussions and
assignment 1 it is clear that some people prefer one over the other.
Within the search tab is the design from figure 2.
