The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and Beyond, 2/e (Paperback)

From the moment it was published almost ten years ago, Elements of User Experience became a vital reference for web and interaction designers the world over, and has come to define the core principles of the practice. Now, in this updated, expanded, and full-color new edition, Jesse James Garrett has refined his thinking about the Web, going beyond the desktop to include information that also applies to the sudden proliferation of mobile devices and applications.

Successful interaction design requires more than just creating clean code and sharp graphics. You must also fulfill your strategic objectives while meeting the needs of your users. Even the best content and the most sophisticated technology won't help you balance those goals without a cohesive, consistent user experience to support it.

With so many issues involved—usability, brand identity, information architecture, interaction design— creating the user experience can be overwhelmingly complex. This new edition of The Elements of User Experience cuts through that complexity with clear explanations and vivid illustrations that focus on ideas rather than tools or techniques. Garrett gives readers the big picture of user experience development, from strategy and requirements to information architecture and visual design.

從它出版的那一刻起，幾乎十年來，《使用者體驗要素》成為全球網頁和互動設計師的重要參考，並且已經成為實踐的核心原則的代表。現在，在這本更新、擴充和全彩新版中，Jesse James Garrett對於網頁的思考進一步發展，不僅僅局限於桌面，還包括適用於移動設備和應用程式的相關資訊。

成功的互動設計不僅僅需要創建乾淨的程式碼和鮮明的圖形，還需要在滿足用戶需求的同時實現戰略目標。即使是最好的內容和最先進的技術，如果沒有一致性的使用者體驗來支持，也無法平衡這些目標。

由於涉及的問題眾多，如可用性、品牌形象、資訊架構、互動設計等，創建使用者體驗可能會變得非常複雜。這本《使用者體驗要素》的新版通過清晰的解釋和生動的插圖，專注於思想而不是工具或技術，來簡化這種複雜性。Garrett向讀者呈現了使用者體驗開發的整體圖景，從戰略和需求到資訊架構和視覺設計。
