具体描述

In a complex world, products that are easy to use win favor with consumers. This is the first book on the topic of simplicity aimed specifically at interaction designers. It shows how to drill down and simplify user experiences when designing digital tools and applications. It begins by explaining why simplicity is attractive, explores the laws of simplicity, and presents proven strategies for achieving simplicity. Remove, hide, organize and displace become guidelines for designers, who learn simplicity by seeing before and after examples and case studies where the results speak for themselves.

挺有趣~

挺有趣~

这本书是2011年出版的，这几年网站之类的大部分遵循了书中讲到的规则，所以看这本书会有一种这你也要说的感觉。后面有干货。不过那个dvd remote cotroller的例子最后的版本竟然类似apple tv的controller的设计顿时就有一种脱光裤子你给我看这个的即视感。apple tv是06年出的第一代，没有见过那个时候遥控器的样子，不过作者绝对是果粉无疑

basic but informative

满满的干货
