The Pocket Universal Principles of UX (Rockport Publishers) is a pocket-size version of the concepts and guidelines included in the original version in a handy, condensed take-along format.
Richly illustrated and easy to navigate, Universal Principles pairs clear explanations of each concept with visual examples of the ideas applied in practice. The book is organized into six broad categories: Consider, Empathize, Define, Research, Design, and Validate.
And features principles as diverse as: design is not neutral; make the choice easy; some complexity cannot be reduced; map the ecosystem; so you think you can scroll; and don’t grade your own homework.
Each principle is presented in a two-page format. The left-hand page contains a succinct definition, a full description of the principle, examples of its use, and guidelines for its use. Sidenotes appear to the right of the text, and provide elaborations and references. The right-hand page contains visual examples and related graphics to support a deeper understanding of the principle.
This landmark reference is the standard for designers, engineers, managers, and students who seek to broaden and improve their user experience design expertise.
