书籍简介:

In a complex world, products that are easy to use win favor with consumers. This is the first book on the topic of simplicity aimed specifically at interaction designers. It shows how to drill down and simplify user experiences when designing digital tools and applications. It begins by explaining why simplicity is attractive, explores the laws of simplicity, and presents proven strategies for achieving simplicity. Remove, hide, organize and displace become guidelines for designers, who learn simplicity by seeing before and after examples and case studies where the results speak for themselves.

作者简介:

Giles Colborne has been designing interactive user experiences since the early 1990s and it’s about time he did something useful like writing a book.

When he’s not doing that he he’s busy with cxpartners, a design consultancy based in Bristol and London that specialises in web and mobile user interface design for companies such as Marriott, Nokia and eBay. Giles and Richard Caddick founded cxpartners in 2004.

书友短评:

@ 菠菜长颈鹿 basic but informative @ 单妮 simple, helpful and well-designed book. recommend! @ #锦二爷# 这本书是 稍微多看几本类似的就发现想法重复了,不过也能加深印象和理解。遇到一些跟自己理念不一的,我再想想吧。users make direction but you guide them. @ // 感觉内容有一点鸡汤(存讲道理的感觉)实际操作建议和例子却讲得很少。 @ yihan爱书橱 挺有趣~ @ Sai 因为工作才读的 @ 菠菜长颈鹿 basic but informative

  • 简单并不意味着最简化。在家里,在公司,在户外,你的设计必须能够适应各种干扰。忽略专家级用户;环境(时间/地点)、角色(谁/为什么)、情节(什么/怎么样);评估故事并追问:什么因素对用户的行为影响最大?简约四策略:· 删除——去掉不必要的;· 组织——分组有意义的;· 隐藏——隐藏不重要得;· 转移——;1.删除:“假如用户需要……” = 什么都删不掉;对于用户提出的要求,做逆向工程——搞清楚到底遇到了什么问题,仔细斟酌是不是应该由软件来解决;关注客户目的,而不是死盯流程(很可能会创造更多的功能去处理出现的各种异常情况,会陷于细节之争),想避开复杂性,问问自己“还有别的办法解决吗”;直接询问用户是否愿意删除某项功能,答案只可能是NO,谁也不愿意被拿走什么。因此设计时,考虑核心功能,用户主要达到什么目的,假如删掉,对用户目的有多大影响;防分心设计(用户专心完成某项任务时,不要放过多的链接、按钮打断他);聪明的默认值,有总比没有好;预防错误(会选错的表单直接禁止掉);2.组织;只强调一两个最重要的主题;分块:7加减1分层(地铁线路图,不同颜色标记不同线路);3.隐藏隐藏意味着在用户和功能之间设置了一道障碍;隐藏的功能多为不常用但不能少,比如设置;隐藏策略的要求:· 隐藏一次性设计和选项;· 隐藏精确控制选项,但专家用户必须能够让这些选项始终保持可见;· 不可强迫或寄希望于主流用户使用自定义功能,不过可以给专家提供;· 巧妙地隐藏:先彻底隐藏,其次适时出现;4.转移今天的移动设备,非常适合记录用户的所见所闻,但用它来输入大段的文字则不方便;不要剥夺用户的指挥权,分清计算机做哪些,用户做哪些;一个组件,多种用途。至于具体做什么,留给用户决定;
