The user interface represents the sum of possible experiences, not of visual elements. The way you accomplish tasks with a product  —  what you do and how it responds — that’s the interface.

So, the structure and appearance of the interface determine what is and isn’t possible.

Structure and appearance are defined through conveyed meanings.

All possible experiences should also be communicated through conveyed meanings.

Once we accept that there is a meaning to be told, it’s useful to think of interface design as a communication process. There is not only a message, but also a sender — as well as a recipient. There has to be a common thread that both of them can understand, otherwise the communication fails.
