Sketching User Experiences
by Bill Buxton
from the book
“This is a book about design. Mainly, it is about the design of appliances, structures, buildings, signs, and yes, computers, that exist in both the physical and behavioral sense. That is, there may be something concrete that you can touch, see, and hear. But there is also something that you can actively experience: something that involves dynamics or time; something with behavior that is usually the result of software running on an embedded microprocessor; and something whose design needs to be grounded in the nature of that experience. The underlying premise of the book is that there are techniques and processes whereby we can put experience front and centre in design. My belief is that the basis for doing so lies in extending the traditional practice of sketching.”
