Fit & Finish

When you look at a touch panel template, you can tell right away when a lot of though has been given to every aspect of the design. Fit & Finish is basically all of the different disciplines of GUI design rolled into one. Take a look at some screenshots with various source pages showing and check for consistency of button placement from one source to the next. Be sure to take note if design elements which were added for for "flash" are taking up space that could be used for larger buttons or a more intuitive layout.

We believe that functionality must dictate design and not the other way around. You can easily notice when an entire template was designed around a background image because buttons and pages are forced to fit in the remaining space left for popup / sub pages.

Quite a few sources use jog control for on-screen menu navigation so the buttons should be in the exact same place on any page that uses them. Many templates have buttons (like a 0-9 keypad) that move from one side to the other on individual sources which makes it harder for your clients to get used to.
