1-For this week’s lecture activity, review the principles for designing controls and displays from the in-class lecture. Select one principle from the list of 15 principles for designing displays, describe the principle in your own words, and describe an example of a display that demonstrates that principle (in either a good or bad way). Do the same for one of the 15 priciples for designing controls. Attached is the lecture
