Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In her book Designing the iPhone User Experience, Suzanne Ginsburg takes a fresh look at cutting-edge, user-centered design from the perspective of designing mobile user experiences for the iPhone. Her book brings together everything you need to know to design great products for mobile contexts." —Pabini Gabriel-Petit, UX Strategy & Design Consultant and Publisher and Editor in Chief of UXmatters “It’s about time! Suzanne Ginsburg takes the best of User-Centered Design (UCD) principles and tweaks them with a dash of mobile and a lot of hints about what it means to implement the Apple Human Interface Guidelines for iPhone. Your idea for an iPhone app has much better chances of being accepted by iPhone owners (and by the iTunes watchdogs guarding entry to the App Store) if you follow even half of the suggestions in this book.” —Nancy Frishberg, Ph.D., User Experience Strategist and past Chair of BayCHI Given the fiercely competitive state of the iPhone app landscape, it has become increasingly challenging for app designers and developers to differentiate their apps. The days are long gone when it was possible to crank out an app over the weekend and refine it after receiving a few not so flattering user reviews. Users now have choices -- lots of them. If your app is difficult to use or doesn’t meet their needs, finding another one is just a tap away. To illustrate, consider the ever-growing field of Twitter clients. There are hundreds of variations in the App Store but only a handful stand out from the pack (such as Tweetie or Twitterific). For most apps, it boils down to one thing: the user experience. The same is true for countless other categories within the App Store; well-designed apps are more likely to attract and retain users. Of course there are other critical aspects of iPhone app development: the coding, the marketing, the customer support. All of the elements must come together. Designing the iPhone User Experience will help you tackle the user experience part of the iPhone challenge. Three key themes will be reinforced throughout the book: Know thy user, the Design Lifecycle, and Attention to Detail: Know Thy User Millions of people depend on iPhone apps to get them to work, find their next meal, and stay in touch with family and friends. Professionals of all kinds also rely on iPhone apps: doctors look up drug interactions; photographers fine-tune lighting; cyclists find the best routes. To truly understand how your apps can fit into their lives, designers and developers must learn how users do things today, what’s important to them, and what needs have not been met. Part II, Introduction to User Research, will introduce a variety of user research methods. The Design Lifecycle Award-winning designs rarely happen overnight; they usually only occur after many rigorous design cycles. To illustrate this point, consider USA TODAY's iPhone application, which went through at least seven iterations for the article view in their app. These kinds of iterations should happen before you launch your app, since it will save valuable time and money, not to mention the headaches a bad design could create for your user. More importantly, you may only have one chance to impress your users -- you do not want to sell them half-baked ideas. Part III, Developing your App Concept, will explain how to iteratively design and test your app concepts. Attention to Detail Most professionals know that attention to detail is important, but hundreds of apps fail to incorporate even the most basic design principles. This lack of attention is not merely an aesthetic issue (which is important) it also affects the way apps function. For example, a news article without proper alignment will be difficult to read, and a poorly rendered icon will be challenging to interpret. Apps with a razor sharp attention to detail will stand out because their apps will look good and perform well. Part IV, Refining your App Concept, will show you how to make to your app shine, from visual design and branding to accessibility and localization. Mastering these three areas will help set your app apart from the crowd. You may not have an award-winning app over night. But knowing your users, iterative design, and attention to detail are important first steps.

Book excerpt: CREATE AND LAUNCH YOUR APP IDEA IN NO TIME, WITH NO CODE This book is for marketers, creative designers, and entrepreneurs who want to build an app for iOS, Android, or the web without writing a line of code. Today, app development is easier than ever. This is a new era, where you can get your idea off the ground in 1-5 days instead of 3 months. Are you an entrepreneur, creative artist, or marketer with a software idea? If so, this ebook is for you. It outlines 7 steps to build, release, and scale your app for a large audience. You'll have your own platform running in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost that it takes to pay a developer. This approach is more lean, agile, and rapid. You probably don't need to learn Javascript, Objective-C, Python, or any other programming language, and you don't need to find anybody who programs either. All you need is a creative idea and the discipline to see it through. Think of yourself as a home builder and general contractor, rather than an architect. This ebook is jam-packed with resources, tools, and next steps to get you started in no time, with no code. The goal is to keep it as simple as possible. Read this ebook quickly, and start developing your ideas right away. Author Evan Drake is a digital marketer living in Silicon Valley. He attended the Wharton School of Business, and worked at Apple for 10 years. Outside of work, he's a wannabe entrepreneur. Throughout this ebook, he'll show you how to build your own no-code app in no time. He'll share resources, so you can learn how easy it is to get started. The app development model he's created is called GOSCALE. Each letter stands for a step. The goal here is to get you started with a lean process that is easy to replicate. At its core, this is an entrepreneurial process. It is important that you follow each step. You'll start with generating your idea, and then move on to outlining and scaffolding it. After you cast the net, you will analyze performance, and learn to pivot. Finally, this ebook describes how to engage your users with no code. Though there is no straight line when building an app, the intention here is to outline the stages of the process. This ebook is more focused on principles than tools. The tools will change over time. So long as you have the principles, you can easily create an app with no code, and the GOSCALE framework: Step 1: Generate Your Idea Step 2: Outline Your Vision Step 3: Scaffold Your App Step 4: Cast A Wide Net Step 5: Analyze Performance Step 6: Learn And Pivot Step 7: Engage Your Users We're only in the teenage years of mobile app development. The no-code movement is only getting started. As the app market matures, for most entrepreneurs, creatives, and marketers, it will become less important to code, and more important to build relevant brands. The way to distinguish yourself beyond today, is through design and execution. It's a no-code world. Go and scale it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any designer who runs a studio, office, or firm is entrepreneurial. In fact, anyone with a studio already has an infrastructure for entrepreneurial content development, and with the technological developments over the last few decades, there are more opportunities now than ever. The use of computers has allowed not only new tools for creating design, but also enables makers with entirely new ways to prototype, promote, and sell their products. Becoming a Design Entrepreneur is the guide for these designers and a breakdown of the prospects and challenges they face. Topics include: •Methods for launching a venture into the market •Tips on presentation, pitch and public relations •How to legally protect intellectual property •Ways to do effective research, and crowd source •How to benefit from social media •Sources for funding and investment and incubators •Case studies from successful and startup entrepreneurs. The ability to produce and market has helped to reposition graphic design in the new entrepreneurial economy, in which graphic design entrepreneurs are constantly raising design bars and standards. Everyone harbors at least one viable product idea, and designers can be "social entrepreneurs," creating campaigns or events that serve the greater good aside from profit-making. Readers will learn to grow as innovators and creators from Becoming a Design Entrepreneur.
