Lukas Mathis:
The book is called Designed for Use: Create Usable Interfaces for Applications and the Web.
The book follows a typical design process. I’ve divided it into three parts: Research, Design, and Implementation. In each part, I introduce some of the most important techniques you’ll use […], and relevant concepts that will help you come up with usable designs (for example, I’ll explain how to make text usable, how to deal with hierarchies, when and how to use realistic graphics, when to use animations, what modes are, when to avoid them and when to use them, and what we can learn from video games).
While the book is aimed at people who are new to usability, I believe it’s useful even if you have some (or a lot of) experience in the field, as evidenced by positive feedback I’ve received from other designers.
I will buy it, and you should too, if you care about usability.
