Description
Richly illustrated and easy to navigate, Universal Principles of UX pairs clear explanations of each concept with visual examples of the ideas applied in practice. The book is organized into six broad categories:
- Consider
- Empathize
- Define
- Research
- Design
- Validate
And features principles as diverse as:
- Design is not neutral
- Make the choice easy
- Some complexity cannot be reduced
- Map the ecosystem
- So you think you can scroll
- Don’t grade your own homework
User Experience is a field notable for its expansiveness, complexity, and persistent evolution. This book is not a chronological retelling of the history of user experience design. It is also not a technical how-to book that will show you how to become a perfect user experience designer one step at a time. It’s a philosophical anthology of case studies, situations, problems, and contradictions encountered across more than fifteen years of working on real-world client projects that will teach you how to think, rather than tell you what to do.
Each principle is presented in a two-page format. The left-hand page contains a succinct definition, a full description of the principle, examples of its use, and guidelines for use. Sidenotes appear to the right of the text, and provide elaborations and references. The right-hand page contains visual examples and related graphics to support a deeper understanding of the principle.
This landmark reference is the standard for designers, engineers, managers, and students who seek to broaden and improve their user experience design expertise.
The titles in the Rockport Universal series offer comprehensive and authoritative information and edifying and inspiring visual examples on multidisciplinary subjects for designers, architects, engineers, students, and anyone who is interested in expanding and enriching their design knowledge.

It is so evident that this book is written by an expert. UX principles were kept in mind in designing this book - a well-presented and engaging book on UX principles.
I will recommend it to my UX designer friends.
4.5 stars.

As a UX designer by profession I am always on the lookout for a fresher take on this subject and this book is it. Not only does it provide great insight into what exactly UX is, but also differentiates between graphic design and UX.
It provides helpful insights into the processes of UX and then breaks them down into bite-sized explanations. I can't wait to get a printed copy of this book.
Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC for my honest review.
