User Interface Design

This reference analyzes how a designer transforms information into an effective user interface design. Topics include modelling methods, usability engineering, and design processes for specific applications. Real-world application and case studies are used to illustrate the text. Although numerous sources document aspects of user-centered design, there are few references that consider how a designer transforms the information gathered about users and their work into an effective user interface design. This book explains just how designers bridge that gap. A group of leading experts in GUI design describe their methods in the context of specific design projects, and while the projects, processes, and methods vary considerably, the common theme is building a bridge between user requirements and user interface design.
