Designing by Drawing: A practical guide to creating usable interactive design is now available for purchase from Lulu as a full color paperback or a downloadable PDF file. The content is identical either way, so make your choice. If it’s important to you that I sell an eBook version or something else, tell me about that in the comments below.
This is a book for designers, prospective designers or other usability professionals who find themselves designing interactive systems of any sort.
If you are unsure how to proceed with your design work, dread the part of your job where you have to specify designs or just have problems communicating your design with clients or implementation teams, this will provide you with a series of procedures, methodologies and tactics to help.
And if you disagree with something, just tell me about it. The book will be regularly updated to stay current, and any useful comments will actually be integrated into the next release of the book.
General comments are welcome, but if you want to make a comment for inclusion in the book, then you need to provide a reference. Look for the blue letters to the left of each paragraph or title. At least provide the section, but note that you can go to paragraph and even sentence (or bullet) level, if the comment is best anchored at this point.
All comments must have an author. Keep the comments professional, and there’s no reason I can think of you wouldn’t want your name attached to it. If you want to have everyone know who you work for and provide an address to contact you, insert this in the comment also.
