Description
Summary:Education can be represented in many approaches. One of them uses metaphor to deliver the message in the design environment. There is an assumption that if metaphor worlds become a truly global platform for users, they could be essential to "encode" the flexibility and the opportunity for social interactions to represent cultures. In some of the Al Quran verses, Allah uses metaphor to send His messages to humanity. Inspired by it, the study aims to design an Islamic culture interface. Thus, a Muslim Centred User Interface Design (MCUID) framework has been developed. An interface prototype is designed based on the framework, known as (MCUID) prototype. The framework discusses three aspects, a designer, a user and a product. The method of this study is using a survey with closed card sorting. Bismillah icon is one of the spiritually based culture icons being tested. The analysis was done using Atlas. Ti 7 tabulated the patterns of Muslim users' perceptions and the accurate measurement of icon recognition. This paper's impact emphasises that a good product comes from a good integration between the designer and the user. For future work, education or other domains could apply the MCUID framework as guidelines to design a suitable product for the target user. © CRES 2022.All rights reserved.
