Title: Laws of UX: Using Psychology to Design Better Products & Services

Author: Jon Yablonski

Narrator: Jason Leikam

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:00:36

Language: English

Release date: 07-19-21

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership, Science & Technology, Computers

Summary:

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's law, Jakob's law, and Hick's law

Ethical implications of using psychology in design

A framework for applying these principles

The preponderance of the lessons learned come in the middle five chapters that follow the form of, All I Ever Needed To Learn About Business Strategy I Learned At the Movies, On the Farm, On Shark Tank, On Hells Kitchen, and From the Bible. Analogies and metaphors are used repeatedly under the premise of using stories to make the content stick in the readers mind. The chapters also end with a One, Two, Three Summary One chapter conclusion, Two Gold Nuggets the reader is to write down and Three additional resources/tools for more information. The conclusions and summary in each chapter reiterate the top 10 components of successful business strategy including the need for and how best to: Plan, Communicate, and Listen to Customers. They are described as universal success factors regardless of industry, business maturity or current business turbulence, but need to be applied differently depending on those factors.
