User Interface Design

by Larry E. Wood

User Interface Design Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Although numerous sources document aspects of user-centered design, there are few references that consider how a designer transforms the information gathered about users and their work into an effective user interface design. This book explains just how designers bridge that gap. A group of leading experts in GUI design describe their methods in the context of specific design projects, and while the projects, processes, and methods vary considerably, the common theme is building a bridge between user requirements and user interface design.

Book News Annotation:

Explains to software developers, programmers, and students how to translate information gathered about users and their work into the design of an actual graphical user interface. In 11 papers from an April 1996 workshop in Vancouver, explores such avenues as task object design, transforming representations, lightweight techniques to encourage innovative design, leaving the engineering perspective behind, and the redesign of complex legacy systems.
