The interaction design profession is thriving with the success of
design-intensive companies, priming customers to expect "design" as a
critical ingredient of marketplace success. Consumers have little
tolerance for websites, apps and devices that don't live up to their
expectations, and the responding shift in business philosophy has become
widespread.
Professionals and students involved in creating interactive technologies
and products will find About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design,
4th Edition (Wiley; ISBN: 978-1-118-76657-6; September 2014; US $50.00)
to be a comprehensive guide that includes new information on touch
interfaces, mobile apps, screen size considerations and more. Taking the
worldwide shift to smartphones and tablets into account, the new
full-color interior and unique layout better illustrate modern design
concepts.
Designers and developers looking to remain relevant through the current
shift in consumer technology habits will find About Face: The Essentials
of Interaction Design, 4th Edition to be an essential resource for:
Contemporary interface, interaction, and product design methods
