Description:

Whether you are a professional new to the user-centered design field, or an
experienced designer who needs to learn the fundamentals of user interface
design and evaluation, this book can lead the way.What will you get
from this book? Based on a course from the Open University, UK which has been
taught to over a thousand professionals and students, this book presents an
overview of the field. It illustrates the benefits of a user-centered approach
to the design of software, computer systems, and web sites, and provides a
clear and practical discussion of requirements gathering; developing
interaction design from user requirements; and user interface evaluation. The
book's coverage includes established HCI topics—for example, visibility,
affordance, feedback, metaphors, mental models, and the like—combined with
practical guidelines for contemporary designs and current trends, which makes
for a winning combination. You get a clear presentation of ideas,
illustrations of concepts, using real-world applications. This book
will help you develop all the skills necessary for iterative user-centered
design, and provides a firm foundation for user interface design and
evaluation on which to build.
