Anthony Conta’s new book, The Art & Science of UX Design spans content across the entire design process, from understanding the right thing to design to designing things right. The book introduces theories, provides examples, and provides exercises to gain experience.
UX Design is not just Art. And it’s not just science. It’s both.
This week Anthony Conta joins the show to discuss his new book, The Art and Science of UX Design: A step-by-step guide to designing amazing user experiences. In his book, Anthony covers the entire design process from start to finish and provides some helpful activities when you’re done to help build a new case study.
Anthony has worked with some incredible folks over the years. And he’s brought that experience and knowledge to print (that’s right, it’s a real live book!) to share with the UX community. It’s a great book that will be beneficial for any designer, no matter where they are in their journey.
