Long-Term Exposure to Flat Design: How the Trend Slowly Makes Users Less Efficient

Summary: Clickable UI elements with absent or weak visual signifiers condition users over time to click and hover uncertainly across pages—reducing efficiency and increasing reliance on contextual cues and immediate click feedback. Young adult users may be better at perceiving subtle clickability clues, but they don’t enjoy click uncertainty any more than other age groups.

Are You Ready for Redistricting?

Most Members of Congress will be affected by redistricting in the 113th Congress. If you are in any district other than an At-Large State, then at the very least your district boundaries, maps, and constituents are changing. For other offices, your actual District Number may be changing as well.

Make sure you are preparing for the changes. Information to assist you will be available online, in briefings and with office outreach.

Web-related items to consider now include any social media or public email addresses that use your District number in the name.

Also, if your website prominently references a changing District number in your banner or graphic art, beginning planning for changes.
