Tidwell J. Designing Interfaces
Designing a good interface isn't easy. Users demand software that is well-behaved, good-looking, and easy to use. Your clients or managers demand originality and a short time to market. Your UI technology -- Web applications, desktop software, even mobile devices -- may give you the tools you need, but little guidance on how to use them well.
UI designers over the years have refined the art of interface design, evolving many best practices and reusable ideas. If you lea these, and understand why the best user interfaces work so well, you too can design engaging and usable interfaces with less guesswork and more confidence.
Designing Interfaces captures those best practices as design pattes -- solutions to common design problems, tailored to the situation at hand. Each patte contains practical advice that you can put to use immediately, plus a variety of examples illustrated in full color. You'll get recommendations, design alteatives, and waings
on when not to use them.
Each chapter's introduction describes key design concepts that are often misunderstood, such as affordances, visual hierarchy, navigational distance, and the use of color. These give you a deeper understanding of why the pattes work, and how to apply them with more insight.
A book can't design an interface for you -- no foolproof design process is given here -- but Designing Interfaces does give you concrete ideas that you can mix and recombine as you see fit. Experienced designers can use it as a sourcebook of ideas. Novice designers will find a roadmap to the world of interface and interaction design, with enough guidance to start using these pattes immediately.

Издательство Morgan Kaufmann, 1992, -242 pp. The history of computing has been one of harnessing the power of a machine to meet the needs of man. This process is seen most powerfully in the development of graphical human-computer interfaces. A major impediment to this harnessing process, however, has been the cost of developing software that tames the technology for human use and interacts in human rather than in machine terms. In order to buil...
