Interesting Article for Designers

Stefek:
Hello Bakers, found this at "a List Apart".

Here an excerpt:

--- Quote ---"Smart graphic design is always some balance of current expressive trends, information architecture, classical layout aesthetics, and detailed research on user preferences and motivations. You should never ignore solid user experience data, but mountains of data won’t auto-magically build you a successful site. Design is a synthetic activity. It can be informed by the results of analysis, but the tools of analysis don’t create beautiful designs. Douglas Bowman’s recent experience as a graphic designer among Google’s engineers who want “data” behind every aesthetic decision is instructive: data and user feedback are always important components of good design, but they are never its sole ingredients."

Thanks for the interesting article! Well, for the link to it  :-D

Stefek:
Yes, visit my favorite HP at http://webdesignfromscratch.com/

They also have a book as PDF.

Maybe Jurgen (Argos) has a direct link.
He introduced me to this Book once.
It's life changing.

Enjoy!
