Case Study #1: Bad (Inter) Face :(

The device here is an ATM machine, it consists of what you usually see when you go to an ATM, a card slot, a money slot, a recipt slot, a keypad, and buttons to access menus on the screen. Just about every ATM has different interfaces some consist of buttons to guide you through menus and others are touch-screen. Companies around the world build these machines but with their own design so you may come across ATMs with good interfaces and bad interfaces. In future times ATMs should all become touch-screen its both simpler and quicker to just insert your card and touch exactly what you want to go to.

This is the exact interface for the ATM I use near my house. Card slot on the right side of the keypad, recipt slot on the upper left just above the keypad, money slot on the bottom left, an envelope slot on the bottom right, and buttons on both the left and right sides of the screen.
