书籍简介:

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 learn 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 patterns – solutions to common design problems, tailored to the situation at hand. Each pattern contains practical advice that you can put to use immediately, plus a variety of examples illustrated in full color. You'll get recommendations, design alternatives, and warnings 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 patterns 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 patterns immediately.

书籍目录

  • 设计师与市场人员的区别在于,作为一名设计师,你试图了解软件的使用者,而一名市场专家希望尽可能了解软件的购买者。

  • 像 Youtube 和 Flickr 那样的公共服务有时候会把整个首页都设计成浏览界面。这样的网站常常会面临一种有趣的选择:当一个自己有内容的登录用户来到首页的时候,她应该看到她自己的内容还是其他人能看到的特色内容?或者两者俱备?
