Aesthetic Integrity

Although the ultimate purpose of an application is to enable a task, even if that task is playing a game, the importance of an application’s appearance should not be underestimated. This is because appearance has a strong impact on functionality: An application that appears cluttered or illogical is hard to understand and use.

尽管一个应用程序的最终目的是为了完成某个任务，这项任务甚至可能是玩游戏，我们也不应低估界面的重要性。这是因为界面对功能有强大的影响力：如果一个应用程序看起来很混乱或不合逻辑的话，也必然是很难理解和使用的。

Aesthetic integrity is not a measure of how beautiful your application is. It’s a measure of how well the appearance of your application integrates with its function. For example, a productivity application should keep decorative elements subtle and in the background, while giving prominence to the task by providing standard controls and behaviors.

审美的完整性并不是一个用来衡量您的应用程序有多漂亮的标准。它的作用是衡量外观与功能相匹配的完整性。例如，一个高效的应用程序应保持微妙的装饰元素以及装饰背景，同时又通过标准控制和行为以突出任务。

An immersive application is at the other end of the spectrum, and users expect a beautiful appearance that promises fun and encourages discovery. Although an immersive application tends to be focused on providing diversion, its appearance still needs to integrate with the task. Be sure you design the user interface elements of such an application carefully, so that they provide an internally consistent experience.

身临其境的应用是在光谱的另一端，用户期望一个美丽的界面外观，承诺乐趣和鼓励发现。虽然身临其境的应用往往是侧重于提供注意力的转移，它的外观仍然需要和任务结合起来。要确保你设计的用户界面元素在这样的应用程序里是细致的，因此它们才能提供一个内部一致的体验。
