Sketching user experiences
TLDR
The essential how-to-sketch workbook from design guru Bill Buxton, author of the Sketching User Experiences, features easy, cost-effective, and fun step-by-step 4-color exercises for a variety of design projects.Abstract:
Bill Buxton revolutionized the way people approach design in Morgan Kafumann's Sketching User Experiences. The book was endorsed by Bill Gates, named the best innovation book of 2007 by Strategy+Business, and has sold over 18,000 and is still gaining momentum.Design sketching is much like what it sounds like: putting pencil to paper as a first step to design of any interactive technology -- website, software application, or mobile devices. Buxton's book gives the compelling argument as to why sketching is an integral part of the design process, and then provides a series of methodologies for practitioners, researchers, and students. Buxton is now back with a how-to-sketch workbook that applies the methodologies in his book in a simple, straight forward manner. The book can be used as a complement to any book on UX design. It is designed for a 12 week course, but the exercises can be used as stand-alone modules for trainings and for practitioners who want to hone their skills. Its low price ensures it will not compete with, but will complement related texts. This is a unique contribution to the field by one of the most well known names in the field. *The essential how-to-sketch workbook from design guru Bill Buxton, author of the Sketching User Experiences*Features easy, cost-effective, and fun step-by-step 4-color exercises for a variety of design projects*Perfect complement to Buxton's Sketching User Experience or in a classroom alongside any user experience text. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The anatomy of prototypes: Prototypes as filters, prototypes as manifestations of design ideas
TL;DR: An anatomy of prototypes is proposed as a framework for prototype conceptualization that views prototypes not only in their role in evaluation but also in their generative role in enabling designers to reflect on their design activities in exploring a design space.

Designing routines: On the folly of designing artifacts, while hoping for patterns of action
TL;DR: It is argued that artifact-centered assumptions about design are not well suited to designing organizational routines, which are generative systems that produce recognizable, repetitive patterns of interdependent actions, carried out by multiple actors.

Embodied cognition and the magical future of interaction design
TL;DR: The theory of embodied cognition can provide HCI practitioners and theorists with new ideas about interaction and new principles for better designs, and these ideas have major implications for interaction design, especially the design of tangible, physical, context aware, and telepresence systems.

Autobiographical design in HCI research: designing and learning through use-it-yourself
TL;DR: Through interviews with HCI experts who have engaged in variations of autobiographical design, the possibilities and limitations of autobiographic design methods are drawn and best practices for its use as an HCI research method are laid out.
