Ui Is Communication: How to Design Intuitive, User Centered Interfaces by Focusing on Effective Communication
by
User interface design is a challenging, multi-disciplinary activity that requires understanding a wide range of concepts and techniques that are often subjective and even conflicting. Imagine how much it would help if there were a single perspective that you could use to simplify these complex issues down to a small set of objective principles. In UI is Communication, Ever

I've enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to any designer that wants to understand and explore a slightly different approach to the design process and to design thinking.
This book helped me see things from a different perspective than the ones I've been seeing things from until now and because of that I now have a better understanding of some of the design concepts I thought I knew all about.
The biggest takeaways for me stemmed from the way the author articulated some aspects of the metaga ...more

The book offers a very good perspective in terms of how to approach designing interactions. The thing I have liked was that there are descriptions of different processes that address some real-world conditions.
This book is absolutely brilliant and extremenly concrete. If you only want to get one book on GUI design, this one should be it.

Most software developers at any level will find this book usefull as the author talks about usability at our level and language. Everett can even antecipate design thouths and solution (from the programming level I mean). Funny. The last to chapters are really helpfull. Talks about put comunication first.
UX can be for developers too and this a good reference.

From the most best books in UI, that tell you about how the best UI looks.
Aunque el autor asocia a un programador como un ser incapaz de diseñar con visión de UX, el libro está bastante bien
Just framing the UI, and the design process, as a conversation suddenly makes so many things obvious and easier. I couldn't articulate before why certain UIs really frustrated me, but they were conversations with annoying, pedantic, forgetful people.

“If your product solves real problems, has a simple, intuitive interaction and an appealing, easy-to-read visual design, yet people aren’t using it, chances are your product is failing to communicate at a human level.”

“One cannot not communicate. Because every behavior is a kind of communication, people who are aware of each other are constantly communicating. Any perceivable behavior, including the absence of action, has the potential to be interpreted by other people as having some meaning.”
