The Essential Guide to User Interface Design: Introduction to GUI Design Principles and Techniques Book

An effective software interface can improve user productivity and satisfaction and reduce errors. But designing effective UIs demands unflinching attention to detail--plus the willingness to apply techniques that may at times contradict your common sense and intuition. The Essential Guide to User Interface Design offers page after page of detailed prescriptions for designing interfaces that work. Goldsmith's scope is comprehensive: He lays out a 12-step approach to UI design that covers everything from how to organize dialog boxes in ways that exploit users' natural patterns of eye movement, to choosing colors effectively, to picking precisely the right words for error messages. The guide is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to build software that really works.Read More

  • Product Description

    Well-designed graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can increase user productivity. But designing them is often difficult and time-consuming, especially for the novice programmer or system developer. This guide contains the do's and don'ts of computer interface design. It is written for system designers and programmers, especially those who may be designing user interfaces for the first time. The author explains the basic principles of effective interface design and then provides a step-by-step guide that takes the reader through the design process, showing plenty of examples of good and bad interface designs along the way. The book covers principles of human interaction with screens for example, how the eye reacts to colours, cascading windows, overlays and text placements. It describes each screen element and how it can used to create interfaces that work. The author also covers the latest interface trends, including Windows 95.
