A Book Apart #14

Designing for Touch

Rate this book
Le tactile introduit une dimension physique dans des designs qui étaient jusqu'à présent strictement virtuels et pose un nouveau défi : comment ce design se prend-il en main ? Web designers, il vous faut désormais penser autrement, et Josh Clark est là pour vous guider dans le Far West des écrans tactiles. Apprenez des principes d'ergonomie, de mise en page et de dimensionnement pour tous les écrans, découvrez une boîte à outils gestuelle émergente, ainsi que des tactiques pour accélérer les interactions et améliorer la "découvrabilité" des gestes. Au final, concevez des interfaces qui permettront de toucher - étirer, froisser, déplacer, retourner - les informations elles-mêmes. Le futur est entre vos mains... Avec une préface de Brad Frost

Josh Clark is founder of Big Medium, a design agency specializing in connected devices, mobile experiences, and responsive web design. His clients include Samsung, Time Inc, TechCrunch, Entertainment Weekly, eBay, O’Reilly Media, and many others. Josh has written several books, including “Designing for Touch” (A Book Apart, 2015) and “Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps” (O’Reilly, 2010). He speaks around the world about what’s next for digital interfaces.

Before the internet swallowed him up, Josh was a producer of national PBS programs at Boston’s WGBH. He shared his three words of Russian with Mikhail Gorbachev, strolled the ranch with Nancy Reagan, hobnobbed with Rockefellers, and wrote trivia questions for a primetime game show. In 1996, he created the uberpopular “Couch-to-5K” (C25K) running program, which has helped millions of skeptical would-be exercisers take up jogging. (His motto is the same for fitness as it is for software user experience: no pain, no pain.)

Informative and entertaining. I've been fortunate enough to hear Josh Clark speak on this at An Event Apart and this book was like an extension of that. His speaking personality definitely comes through in the text.

Interesting insight into how people use their devices and how to improve the experience. Unfortunately I found the book and information repetitive.

Designing for Touch is good. It covers a lot without getting too heavy. I'd recommend if you're new to designing touch-friendly interfaces. It's a nice read. I flew through it and picked up a few nice tidbits. Came away with some potentially interesting gesture ideas.
