Use caution in designing computer-generated human faces or cartoon characters. Design comprehensible, predictable, and controllable interfaces. Provide user-centered overviews for orientation and closure. Do not use 'I' pronouns when the computer responds to human actions. Names in chronological order, alignment of dates, familiar date separators.
Labels are helpful for all but frequent users.
Distinguish labels from data with case, boldfacing, etc. If boxes are available they can be used to make a more appealing display, but they consume screen space.
