Murphy's law of GUI design:

- Law of Maximised Misunderstanding: It states that, "If something can possibly be

misunderstood, it will be."

- Corollary: If it cannot possibly be misunderstood, it will still be misunderstood.

- User Identification Theorem: Everyone involved with software development accept the

fact that GUIs should be best design to suit the users. Users can be developers , clients or

actual end users. Hence , the software should be designed in such way that all the

requirements are satisfied.

Example:

You can not make two-pin plug symmetrical and label it; "THIS WAY UP' if it matters

which way it is plugged in, then you make the design asymmetrical.
