Description: User interface design is a challenging, multidisciplinary activity that requires understanding a wide range of concepts and techniques that are commonly subjective and even conflicting. A single perspective that simplifies these complex issues down to a small set of objective principles is needed. In UI is Communication, Everett McKay explains how to design intuitive user interfaces by focusing on effective human communication. A user interface is ultimately a conversation between users and technology. Well-designed user interfaces use the language of UI to communicate to users efficiently and naturally. They also recognize that there is an emotional human being at the other end of the interaction, so good user interfaces strive to make an emotional connection. Readers will be able to apply what they learn from UI is Communication to make better design decisions with confidence. It's the perfect introduction to user interface design.
