책소개

Some books about design focus on web sites or specific products. Others explore the aesthetic and emotional value provided by various elements of design. Few explore the semantic connections that live between technology, and form and people-or quot;interactions.quot; Thoughts on Interaction Design offers new insights into Interaction Design and the connections between people and technology. Now in its second edition, Jon Kolko？？s best-selling title builds upon its engaging material aimed to educate Designers, help Designers educate business owners, and legitimize Interaction Design for businesses. This edition explores how changes in the economic climate, increased connectivity, and international adoption of technology, affect designing for behavior and the nature of design itself. Ultimately, this book exists to provide a definition that encompasses the intellectual facets of the field, the conceptual underpinnings of interaction design as a legitimate human-centered field, and the particular methods used by practitioners in their day-to-day experiences.*Provides new and fresh insights on designing for behavior in a world of increased connectivity and mobility and how design education has evolved over the decades *Maintains the informal-yet-informative voice that made the first edition so popular

출판사 서평

"In writing Thoughts on Interaction Design,？the author？'s reflective, learned, and articulate exploration has simultaneously provided an entire profession with a rallying point, a claim to credibility, and a vision. When we look back on the formative years of Interaction Design as a distinct endeavor, this book will surely be recognized as the seminal work."-Steve Baty, Principal, Meld Studios "Jon is an important voice in the evolution of interaction design. In Thoughts on Interaction Design, he carefully explains the essential qualities of the discipline and its potential role in world, well beyond the design of user interfaces. If you are concerned with shaping the future, solving big problems and creating things and systems that bring out the best in people, then this book will help you understand and explain how practice of interaction design can help.-- David Cronin, Managing Director, Interaction Design at Cooper, co-author of About Face 3rd Edition "Jon Kolko moves Interaction Design to a new level of analysis with this powerful, thoughtful book. Kolko demonstrates that interaction design impacts all aspects of our lives. That the tools and methods can be used for the solution of social and political issues and not simply for the development of products. This book is essential reading for all who wish to move beyond style to deep, impactful substance."--Don Norman, Nielsen Norman group, author of Living with Complexity "This is a necessary updating of Jon Kolko's original work; retaining the clarity and accessibility of the first edition but pushing into more areas, as the practices (and the concerns) of interaction design/designers have expanded broadly in the past few years. Jon has the heart of a thought leader and the soul of a teacher, and he offers up a healthy amount of both in this book."--Steve Portigal, Principal, Portigal Consulting The second edition of Kolko's Thoughts on In
