Overview
At the start of every web design project, the ongoing struggles
reappear. We want to design highly usable and self-evident
applications, but we also want to devise innovative, compelling,
and exciting interactions that make waves in the market. Projects
are more sophisticated than ever, but we have fewer resources with
which to complete them. Requirements are fuzzy at best, but
we’re expected to have everything done yesterday.
What we need is a reuse strategy, coupled with a pathway to
innovation. Patterns are part of the game. Components take us
further. In Web Anatomy: Interaction Design Frameworks That
Work, user experience experts Hoekman and Spool introduce
“interaction design frameworks”, the third and final
piece of what they call “The Reuse Trinity”, and
resolve these issues once and for all. Frameworks are sets of
design patterns and other elements that comprise entire systems,
and in this game-changing book, Hoekman and Spool show you how to
identify, document, share, use, and reap the benefits of
frameworks. They also dive deep into several major frameworks to
reveal how the psychology behind these standards leads not only to
effective designs, but can also serve as the basis for cutting-edge
innovations and superior user experiences.
Web Anatomy delivers:
A complete guide to using interaction design frameworks
An examination of the psychology behind major frameworks
A thorough look at how frameworks will change the way you work for the better
Citing examples from both the successful and not-so-successful,
the authors break down the elements that comprise several common
interactive web systems, discuss implementation considerations,
offer examples of innovations based on these standards, reveal how
frameworks work hand in hand with patterns and components, and show
you how to integrate frameworks into your process.
