Designing for Interaction

Interaction design lies at the core of crafting products that not only function seamlessly but also captivate users. In Designing for Interaction, Dan Saffer transforms the complexity of interactive systems into a practical guide, illuminating the strategies behind creating designs that are as intuitive as they are appealing. The second edition, published in 2009 by Pearson Education, distills essential principles into a concise 240-page paperback that serves as a vital resource for design innovators. This book offers a clear roadmap for leveraging design research and brainstorming techniques to uncover user behaviors, motivations, and needs—key ingredients for transforming ideas into compelling interactive experiences. Through expert insights and illustrative case studies, Designing for Interaction provides a compelling look into methods and processes that ensure products not only impress visually but work with outstanding usability.
