Description:
At the start of every web design project, the ongoing struggle reappears. We want to design highly usable and self-evident applications so our customers can work efficiently, but we also want to devise innovative, compelling, and exciting interactions to dazzle our users and make waves in the market. And which approach wins is often a circumstance of who's leading the design: the aesthetics-driven visual designer or the usability-minded conservative. Renowned design researcher Jared Spool, founder of User Interface Engineering, and veteran interaction designer Robert Hoekman, Jr., author of Designing the Obvious and Designing the Moment, want to resolve this conflict once and for all. In Web Anatomy, they introduce a collection of interaction design frameworks----sets of design patterns and other elements that compose entire systems----and reveal how the psychology behind these standards leads not only to effective designs, but can also serve as the basis for cutting-edge innovations and superior user experiences. Web Anatomy delivers: * A reference guide to interaction design frameworks * An examination of the psychology behind the standards * An in-depth look at what works, what doesn't, and where to go from here Citing examples from both the successful and not-so-successful, Hoekman and Spool break down the elements of common interactive web systems and subsystems, explain why they work, show when to use them and when to avoid them, describe implementation considerations, offer examples of innovations, and put a big spotlight on the possibilities. Read Web Anatomy now. Reference it for years to come.
