About this listen

An understanding of psychology - specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces - is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design rather than working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them.

This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles in psychology to build products and experiences that are more intuitive and human-centered. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build experiences that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces.

You’ll learn:

  • How aesthetically pleasing design creates positive responses
  • The principles from psychology most useful for designers
  • How these psychology principles relate to UX heuristics
  • Predictive models including Fitts’ law, Jakob’s law, and Hick’s law
  • Ethical implications of using psychology in design
  • A framework for applying these principles

I’m not sold on this title

In trying to be fair about this review, I have a hard time trying to find the positives. I do believe the book is performed well and the information is not a sales oriented book where you need to sign up for the real content and pay thousands of dollars.
I also admit I am expecting a lot from a book that is so short.

Having said that however, there is no meat in the potatoes. It covers general theory and brushes over key concepts at such a broad ever view you almost have to go discover the individual concepts at length while you listen to the book since the author doesn’t really get into the topics as deep as I would have hoped.

I don’t hate this book, but I don’t love it either. I just wanted more topics and examples so I could really comprehend the concept.
