Download or read book UX Style Frameworks written by Marti Gold and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UX Style Frameworks is a practical guide for the hands-on creation of a Style Framework. This new and collaborative documentation format combines different departments’ standards and style guides into a single, unified, and accessible source for all employees. Marti Gold defines Style Frameworks for web and user experience designers, showing what and how much information goes into a style framework. As UX designers and creative directors are charged with ensuring a business’s web and mobile output are in line with branding standards, the unification of style guides, code libraries, and pattern libraries is an important aspect to dissolving "design siloes" and creating a unified brand. Each section in the book will identify the current pain points and common internal practices that result in standards documents being ignored and eventually becoming obsolete. UX Style Frameworks provides solutions on creating Style Frameworks that evolve to keep standards current, ultimately resulting in more cohesive brand and product designs. Key features: Offers a fully functional companion website with a complete Style Framework, showing all examples featured in the book and available for download so that users can start their own Style Framework. Each section includes information about addressing company politics and policies to help readers navigate those murky waters to ensure buy-in and establishment of Style Frameworks. Includes case studies that showcase success stories where Style Frameworks were implemented and not-so-successful stories where Style Frameworks were needed, giving readers examples of different ways Style Frameworks can be incorporated into existing workflows.
Download or read book Modular Design Frameworks written by James Cabrera and published by Apress. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the basic principles of modular design, and then put them into action to create sites that are easy to use, look great, and can be adapted within the context of your business needs. With author James Cabrera—one of the thought leaders in the modular-design movement—you'll create a single, scalable project for a sample nameplate site and then adapt that same project to work successfully as a portfolio site, an e-commerce site, and finally as a news/publishing content site. Along the way, you'll learn the scientific approach to devising a sound and scalable design strategy, followed by establishing a basic foundation using various criteria relevant to that type of site. As each chapter progresses, you'll add new concepts appropriate for the project type. Modular web and app design isn't just for so-called "creatives." It's a teachable science with principles that can be replicated in a creative manner. This approach makes the design decision making process for businesses much easier (and easier to live with). And modular design is a powerful tool for software designers to replicate effective successful designs across a spectrum of needs. What You'll Learn Examine the design process in a modular way Adapt your HTML code to create different types of applications Establish your own modular framework for your specific site's goals Design for scale Develop a strong foundation skeleton for design Who This Book Is For User experience designers, user interface designers, information architects, developers with an interest in design, developers who want to create their own design frameworks.
Download or read book Conversational UX Design written by Robert J. Moore and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With recent advances in natural language understanding techniques and far-field microphone arrays, natural language interfaces, such as voice assistants and chatbots, are emerging as a popular new way to interact with computers. They have made their way out of the industry research labs and into the pockets, desktops, cars and living rooms of the general public. But although such interfaces recognize bits of natural language, and even voice input, they generally lack conversational competence, or the ability to engage in natural conversation. Today’s platforms provide sophisticated tools for analyzing language and retrieving knowledge, but they fail to provide adequate support for modeling interaction. The user experience (UX) designer or software developer must figure out how a human conversation is organized, usually relying on commonsense rather than on formal knowledge. Fortunately, practitioners can rely on conversation science. This book adapts formal knowledge from the field of Conversation Analysis (CA) to the design of natural language interfaces. It outlines the Natural Conversation Framework (NCF), developed at IBM Research, a systematic framework for designing interfaces that work like natural conversation. The NCF consists of four main components: 1) an interaction model of “expandable sequences,” 2) a corresponding content format, 3) a pattern language with 100 generic UX patterns and 4) a navigation method of six basic user actions. The authors introduce UX designers to a new way of thinking about user experience design in the context of conversational interfaces, including a new vocabulary, new principles and new interaction patterns. User experience designers and graduate students in the HCI field as well as developers and conversation analysis students should find this book of interest.

Download or read book Studies in Conversational UX Design written by Robert J. Moore and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As voice interfaces and virtual assistants have moved out of the industry research labs and into the pockets, desktops and living rooms of the general public, a demand for a new kind of user experience (UX) design is emerging. Although the people are becoming familiar with Siri, Alexa, Cortana and others, their user experience is still characterized by short, command- or query-oriented exchanges, rather than longer, conversational ones. Limitations of the microphone and natural language processing technologies are only part of the problem. Current conventions of UX design apply mostly to visual user interfaces, such as web or mobile; they are less useful for deciding how to organize utterances, by the user and the virtual agent, into sequences that work like those of natural human conversation. This edited book explores the intersection of UX design, of both text- or voice-based virtual agents, and the analysis of naturally occurring human conversation (e.g., the Conversation Analysis, Discourse Analysis and Interactional Sociolinguistics literatures). It contains contributions from researchers, from academia and industry, with varied backgrounds working in the area of human-computer interaction. Each chapter explores some aspect of conversational UX design. Some describe the design challenges faced in creating a particular virtual agent. Others discuss how the findings from the literatures of the social sciences can inform a new kind of UX design that starts with conversation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering UI and UX sets the standard for studying wireframes, mockups, and different tools with its unique features. This book comprehensively analyses the design, portability, and efficiency of various tools. As a beginner's guide, Mastering UI and UX addresses various methods to use these types of tools, and studying it will understandably shape your very design process, whether you are an expert or not. It is evident that Wireframes and mockups are standard terms used during the design process, and choosing the right one at the right stage will help you ensure that the correct level of effort is invested so that you can deliver functionality that solves an actual customer requirement. Mastering UI and UX helps you accomplish just that! This book explores the design, compactness, and performance of different tools UX/UI tools by completing various comparative discussions. Mastering UI and UX has an abundant supply of tested, functional, and documented Wireframe and mockups tools by providing comprehensive, practical, easy-to-grab solutions and paying close attention to both efficiency and portability. This book also discusses the latest updates added to the UX/UI tools. Furthermore, Mastering UI and UX offers readings for students and professionals interested in knowing more about such tools and their outstanding efficacies. A mockup is a kind of visual presentation of a website or app. Designers always use mockups to highlight their website's layout and functionality to their prospective clients. While wireframes and prototypes are low-fidelity formats, mockups are more intuitive. They help clients visualize how the final product will look, feel, and work. Mockups also help remove ambiguity regarding the client's expectations. Clients can detect gaps on the website by looking at its Mockup and suggesting early product revisions. By using mockups for each iteration, designers can create a final product that meets client requirements. Wireframing is an unavoidable part of the design process. Throughout a mobile app or website project, you will have a lot of ideas, and the best way to determine those ideas is to brainstorm. The Wireframing brainstorm sessions' main intention is to make them with minimal effort, as to facilitate creativity. Whether you are a designer or not, wireframing is a necessary skill to have in your toolkit. It's conducive for marketers, product managers, or anyone else with ideas for a mobile app or website. It is an irreplaceable tool for visualizing user experiences, iterating on ideas, and sharing ideas with others. It is undoubtfully performed like a design blueprint. They stipulate a path for conceptual structuring out an application, whether structurally or visually. Mastering UI and UX provides you with the uniqueness of two irreplaceable parts of the designing world- Mockup and wireframes. This book covers different Mockup and wireframe tools, including Adobe XD, Mockplus, Moqups, Mockplus iDOC, Sketch Figma, UXpin, and Axure RP and their functionality and portability. Using some of the mockup tools above, you can create interactive mockups that can be exported and run on any device working as a real application. This is a robust way to test your knowledge about your apps. It will also help with detailed instructions for developers, making their job easier and faster.
