Sep 17, Kiri rated it liked it Shelves: I get excited by any book with "workbook" in its title also, "Teach Yourself". This one is satisfyingly hands-on, with a lot of encouragement to experiment and sketch from the start. It is attractively laid out and fun to flip through.
I read this for a course on "Web Usability", and the assignment where we got to sketch a possible re-design of a website, using techniques in this book, was one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire class. I found section 4. Other than that, however, the book really seems most useful to someone who does design and prototyping for a living.
I gave it three stars because most of it wasn't useful to me - but others might get more out of it. Hello, this is not a ding in this book. I picked it up prior to starting a UX bootcmapmand didnt get through it before starting my program. Needless to say I was too busy as a UX student to do the boot camp and learn through this book at the same time. The book has some valuable insight and will serve as refrence book for me.
Fantastic overview of UX While this book was required reading for a class, it was very helpful for constructing both a group project and an individual UX prototype for a Mobile app I am working on. Dec 08, Gratsiela Borisova rated it liked it Shelves: The book was nice and gave good advice for people, who don't draw. For those who do on a regular basis - I'm not sure if it's that useful.
