Inhalt: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis delves into the intricate relationship between user interface (UI) design and player immersion in the genre of horror video games. While a good horror game relies on elements such as narrative, sound design, and gameplay mechanics, this study posits that UI also plays a crucial role in modulating player's immersion and overall experience. Drawing upon examples from contemporary horror games like Metro 2033 Redux, Layers of Fear, and Dead by Daylight, the research aims to identify how different types of UI components can either enhance or disrupt the horror atmosphere. The core objective is to analyze the impact of UI on players' satisfaction and provide insights into how it can be optimized for a more thrilling and immersive experience. With the rise of the video game industry and advancements in technology, the thesis argues for the importance of understanding the role of UI in creating compelling horror game experiences.

Inhalt: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: With the burgeoning engagement in social media, particularly on platforms like Instagram, concerns over its impact on cognitive processes, notably attention span and memory, have soared. This thesis delves into the nuanced interplay between Instagram's User Interface (UI) design and the memory capacity of young adults, exploring how incessant scrolling could be nibbling at the cognitive fibers of the digital natives. By dissecting Instagram’s UI design patterns and juxtaposing them against the cognitive responses elicited during interactions, this research aims to unfurl the subtle yet potentially profound effects on attention span and short-term memory. Employing a blend of theoretical exploration and practical analysis — including literature review, user interviews, and memory exercises — the study seeks to render a more nuanced understanding of the cognitive ramifications entailed in modern-day social media engagement. The exercises, designed to gauge short-term memory retention pre and post-Instagram consumption, coupled with insights gleaned from interviews, strive to provide a holistic view of how Instagram’s UI design could be shaping the cognitive landscape of young adults. As the line between digital and real continues to blur, understanding the cognitive tether to social media platforms becomes paramount. This thesis, by illuminating the potential cognitive trade-offs in Instagram's design, aspires to foster a dialogue towards more cognitively considerate social media interfaces, nurturing a balance between connectivity and cognitive well-being. Keywords: Instagram, User Interface Design, Attention Span, Short-term Memory, Cognitive Processes, Social Media Consumption, Digital Engagement, Memory Exercises, Cognitive Impact, Young Adults

Inhalt: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presents challenges for individuals using modern technology, especially websites and user interfaces, due to difficulties with focus, planning, and impulse control. With a global prevalence of 2.58% to 6.76% among adults, accessibility and inclusivity in design become crucial. This research explores how graphic design principles can enhance digital experiences for individuals with ADHD, creating a more inclusive environment. The study employs semi-structured interviews and case study analyses of the White House and IRS websites, along with literature on ADHD and user interface design. The findings lead to design principles tailored for ADHD users and contribute to a redesign project for the "Berlin Service Portal" government website. Acknowledging limitations, the research aims to improve accessibility and inclusivity for individuals with ADHD. Keywords: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, accessibility, inclusivity, graphic design, user interface design, digital experiences, design principles, semi-structured interviews, case study analysis.
