User interface design is a challenging, multi-disciplinary activity that requires understanding a wide range of concepts and techniques that are often subjective and even conflicting. Imagine how much it would help if there were a single perspective that you could use to simplify these complex issues down to a small set of objective principles. In UI is Communication, Everett McKay explains how to design intuitive user interfaces by focusing on effective human communication. A user interface is ultimately a conversation between users and technology. Well-designed user interfaces use the language of UI to communicate to users efficiently and naturally. They also recognize that there is an emotional human being at the other end of the interaction, so good user interfaces strive to make an emotional connection. Applying what you learn from UI is Communication will remove much of the mystic, subjectiveness, and complexity from user interface design, and help you make better design decisions with confidence. It's the perfect introduction to user interface design.
Zielgruppe
<p>Primary: non-designer software professionals, especially software developers, managers, and business analysts. They are in the most need of an approachable ?one book? on UX design-and the least motivated to read the competition. While the book is targeted at non-designers, designers will appreciate the book too. Being able to work through design problems in more objective, communication-based terms will help them be more persuasive and effective.UI is Communication would make good course material for college undergraduate courses on UX design.</p>
