Lean UX, 3rd Edition

You don’t need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself. That’s the message from Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. A manifesto for the digital age, Steal Like an Artist is a guide whose positive message, graphic look and illustrations, exercises, and examples will put readers directly in touch with their artistic side. When Mr. Kleon was asked to address college students in upstate New York, he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. The talk went viral, and its author dug deeper into his own ideas to create Steal Like an Artist, the book. The result is inspiring, hip, original, practical, and entertaining. And filled with new truths about creativity: Nothing is original, so embrace influence, collect ideas, and remix and re-imagine to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you. Stay smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring—the creative you will need to make room to be wild and daring in your imagination.

Steal Like an Artist

An understanding of psychology—specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces—is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design rather than working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them. This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles in psychology to build products and experiences that are more intuitive and human-centered. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build experiences that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces. You’ll learn: How aesthetically pleasing design creates positive responses The principles from psychology most useful for designers How these psychology principles relate to UX heuristics Predictive models including Fitts’s law, Jakob’s law, and Hick’s law Ethical implications of using psychology in design A framework for applying these principles

Laws of UX

Na era da globalização e das tendências culturais homogeneizantes, em diversas áreas, a formação profissional não raro desconsidera que suas práticas se voltam para, e dependem de, seres humanos que estão inseridos em contextos sociais, políticos e culturais específicos, onde essas práticas podem assumir diferentes sentidos. A área de pesquisa de experiência, mais conhecida como UX Research – demarcando o olvido dos aspectos culturais locais – é um exemplo típico. A literatura técnica da área, em sua maior parte originada no contexto das sociedades ricas e mais desenvolvidas, cai em solo brasileiro como prêt-à-porter e, por falta de adequação local, ou de "localização", conduz com frequência a equívocos e retrabalhos. A iniciativa desbravadora de Cecília Henriques, Denise Pilar e Elizete Ignácio vem preencher uma lacuna importante nessa área. Mas não só. Se o livro UX Research com sotaque brasileiro emerge como alento para muitos profissionais envolvidos com pesquisa de experiência que anseiam por literatura técnica mais acessível, ele também se revela ferramenta importante para pesquisadores e pesquisadoras iniciantes de outras áreas do conhecimento, especialmente das ciências humanas e sociais. Com seu tom descontraído e bem-humorado, suas dicas de métodos bem-sucedidos e seus cases, testemunhos dos acertos e tropeços no fazer da pesquisa de experiência, o livro chega para falar a um grande público interessado em pesquisa.
