Re: [Flashcoders] User Centred Design
I personally found Task-Centered User Interface Design to be a valuable and good short read. The book is ancient but there is a reason why it is still used in graduate level courses today. http://www.hcibib.org/tcuid/ Good luck, -mL http://knowledge.lapasa.net Nick Weekes wrote: One of my favourite books on this subject, About Face 2: Essentials of Interaction Design: http://www.amazon.co.uk/About-Face-2-0-Essentials-Interaction/dp/0764526413/ ref=sr_1_7/202-5343986-8502251?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1174494929sr=8-7 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Huynen Sent: 21 March 2007 15:39 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] User Centred Design I checked it out and it's great!

I've been coding in actionscript for a few years now and the purpose of the research is to be able to create beautifull interfaces with high usability standards. So far I believe that user centred design comes from several disciplines like: Cognitive Psychology, Anthropology, Human-Computer Interaction, Visual and Graphic Arts, Communication, User-Interface Theory, Linguistics, Human-Factors, Information Design, Instructional Design, Color Theory, Typography, and more. It's a bit off topic but I know that you guys are the right persons to ask for advise. And so I would like to ask if anybody has any suggestions for me. Maybe on books or articles or just in general.

I found this both informative and highly entertaining: http://www.uwtv.org/programs/displayevent.aspx?rID=2103 This is a lecture by Alan Kay which contains stuff you might find interesting as well. I recommend you get the large MPEG2 version, because it contains old videos of early interfaces (Doug Engelbert etc): http://www.archive.org/details/AlanKeyD1987 http://www.archive.org/details/AlanKeyD1987_2 Some very nice stuff here: http://www.visualcomplexity.com/ HTH, Mark On 3/21/07, Tom Huynen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello friends, For my graduation on multmedia design over here in The Netherlands I'm doing research on User Centred Design.
