UX / UI Design
The Design of Everyday Things
Human-Centered Principles for Better Product Experiences
Da Wei
This book reveals the timeless principles behind that ease. Through real-world examples and thoughtful analysis, it shows how great design emerges from understanding people — their goals, behaviors, and contexts.
From the satisfying click of a doorknob to the subtle animation of a toggle, you'll see how affordance, feedback, clarity, and simplicity shape experiences we often take for granted.
A practical guide for designers, product thinkers, and anyone curious about the design of everyday things.
Affordance — Make actions obvious through form and context.
Feedback — Communicate status and build confidence.
Simplicity — Remove what's unnecessary so what matters stands out.
