Book Description
Quick and practical UI design guidelines to design intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interfaces.
Learn a logic-driven approach to design intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interfaces using quick and practical guidelines.
Use a system of logical guidelines, rather than just gut feeling.
Interface design might appear to be a magical art form, but a lot of it is made up from logical rules or guidelines.
Much more than just making an interface look pretty.
Learn the how and why behind UI design to ensure that every design detail has a logical purpose behind it.
No tedious, impractical, or vague interface design theory.
Just quick and actionable guidelines with examples and a logical rationale to help back up your design decisions.
Don’t just move stuff around until it looks pretty
User interface design is hard. Having endless design possibilities sounds great in theory, but in practice, it can be frustrating and time consuming.
With so many options to choose from regarding layout, spacing, typography, and colour, making design decisions can be overwhelming. When you add usability, accessibility, and psychology to the mix, it gets even harder.
Luckily, UI design doesn’t have to be so hard. Over the years, I’ve realised that most of my visual and interaction design decisions are governed by a system of logical rules. Not artistic flair or magical intuition, just simple rules.
Sure, artistic talent helps, but a lot of what makes up an intuitive, accessible, and beautiful interface design can be learned. Having a system of logical rules helps you efficiently make informed design decisions. Without a logical system, you’re just using gut feeling to move stuff around until it looks pretty.
I love rules and logic, but design decisions are rarely black and white. Rather than strict rules that you must follow, think of the advice in this book as helpful guidelines that work well in most cases.
I wish I’d known these guidelines when I first started out. They’re a culmination of nearly 2 decades working as a product designer on products used by millions of people. My hope is that they’ll help you gain years of experience in a matter of hours.
Who’s this book for?
Beginner or intermediate designers, developers, user researchers, or product managers looking to design informed and professional website and mobile applications.
