书籍介绍

With Early Release ebooks, you get books in their earliest form—the author's raw and unedited content as he or she writes—so you can take advantage of these technologies long before the official release of these titles. You'll also receive updates when significant changes are made, new chapters are available, and the final ebook bundle is released.

Every designer has had to justify designs to non-designers, yet most lack the ability to explain themselves in a way that is compelling and fosters agreement. The ability to effectively articulate design decisions is critical to the success of a project, because the most articulate person often wins. This practical book provides principles, tactics, and actionable methods for talking about designs with executives, managers, developers, marketers, and other stakeholders who have influence over the project with the goal of winning them over and creating the best user experience.

精彩摘录
  • "She made a transition from interviewer to client and asked me the most memorable question of my career: “Let’s say I have a new project for you. What’s the first thing you would ask me about it?”"
  • "Without hesitating, I began what felt like was a tried-and-true approach to all my previous work: “Is this a print piece or a website? Will there be color or no? Will we use stock photography or original? How many pages would the website or brochure have? And, finally, what is your timeline? When do"
  • "The point is this: user experience design is a relatively new thing and we’re all continually adjusting to the changing attitudes and approaches to creating great stuff. It’s all design. When it comes to titles, no one really knows what they’re talking about. Right or wrong, we’re all just making st"
  • "This is why so many people have an opinion about your work."
  • "When our egos are preventing us from seeing the value of other ideas, it will manifest itself in the form of excuses for why the other person's suggestion is not valid."
  • "Do something, even if it's wrong."

设计是强大的,但是日常交互设计工作本身的影响力又是局限的。以前低估了sale/pitch的重要性,当设计技法已经成熟,起决定性的就剩怎么能让别人理解并支持的能力了吧。
我司组织design book club的第一本,其实也没那么神啊,他们斜的都是我们日常在做的啊,但是顶不住老板黄晓明上身啊。不过好多设计师操着卖白粉的心的鸡贼手段。真的,心疼自己。
撕逼必备工具书
话术啊话术
作为设计师,在工作中最需要与之打交道的人,往往不是设计师,而是“干系人”。干系人与设计决策密切相关,我们的作品是否成功,很大程度上取决于是否能得到他们的支持。优秀的设计师即优秀的沟通者,Tom Greever这本书旨在帮助设计师来跨越与干系人沟通的鸿沟,成为能言善辩的设计师。
非常好的书!设计师的工作远不止设计,主要还得沟通传递,解决问题,和用户共情和调研。虽然书到后面有些啰嗦了,但是还是受益良多。
在商业应用中,要想说服利益相关者,推动设计方案的施行,以及更好地从商业的角度出发洞察潜在的设计,很重要的功课是与利益相关者沟通。只有当设计被有效地理解、传播和执行,它的价值才有效。中部有些啰嗦,后半部分是挺实用的方法和策略。
减一星给过多的重复内容。但是有一些很有启发性的话:1. The right frame of mind, 短期内要用积极的,非防御性的,有策略性的语言去回馈别人的意见建议;长期来看要用个人魅力去营造信任从而减少过多沟通成本。2,自证小技巧:放一些差一点的方案;犯一些无关紧要的小错误来让挑剔的人有的放矢;讲用户的故事;寻求资深人士来站队等。3,做一个没那么好的决策来引起stakeholder注意并重新决策从而推进项目进程 4,哪怕你疯狂的探索没有被用上,你的创造力和态度还是会让你的名字在下次重要项目中被人记起。5,Stay creative,做一些有创造力的事让你的脑子“开心”。
