Today I want to be a person who loves to learn, so I will share some books about interaction design with you, which can improve interaction thinking to a certain extent.
Moreover, it is very friendly to product managers, interaction designers, or knife friends who just want to get some inspiration for interaction design.
01 Turn a stone into gold
The author of "Dianshichengjin" is Steve Krug, who is a user experience expert and has a consulting company. This book is based on his experience. It uses humorous sentences to explain the unique viewpoints of users' patterns, design for browsing, navigation design, homepage layout, usability testing, etc., and gives a lot of simple, Recommendations for easy usability design.
In many books describing mobile products, it has taken a different approach and talked about some of the design principles of the Web.
And it is short enough, rich in illustrations, and very interesting to read. No matter how many times I read it, every time I reread it, there will be some new inspiration.
The most important thing is that it will not use some very abstract terms to illustrate, but use some easy to associate examples to illustrate the design principles. For example, the author will use a supermarket to compare website search and help.
Although this book is more suitable for beginners, it contains a large number of interaction principles applicable to product managers, interaction designers, and even development at all stages.
Share a few comments on Douban:
02 Designers must understand psychology
The author Susan Weinschenk is an internationally renowned expert in design psychology. The whole book is quite pragmatic and the cases are clear. It discusses 100 psychological problems that designers must know. Each problem is short and concise, and can be read in a moment. People easily understand the psychological motivation behind the design.
From the perspective of contemporary new media titles, the translated title of this book is far less attractive than the original title.
The original name is "100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know about People", do you feel like you want to click to check it in an instant.
After reading this book, people will think in a new direction why users will use your product, and how they will use your product.
03 Design Psychology
"Design Psychology" was written by American researcher, professor and writer Don Norman more than 30 years ago, and it is still relevant to the design industry.
This book is definitely a must-read for anyone who wants to design profitable products.
It talks a lot about how to design things that are useful to people. It believes that design is actually a communication behavior and requires a deep understanding of the people you communicate with.
As a classic reading, the author's perspective is still very relaxed, and he said some interesting anecdotes about design interaction, including human behavior and basic design principles.
But because of the age, some examples are outdated, but you can still feel the author's design philosophy and business strategies and methods.
04 Rejuvenation
The author of this book wrote "Small Stones into Gold", the style is still humorous, and the structure is kept short and sharp. It mainly talks about how to use a low budget and short timetable to test your products.
This book provides a practical way to supplement your testing research.
In fact, speaking of testing, on a global scale, the easiest and most cost-effective way for user testing is to make high-fidelity prototypes.
