Design for the Mind:Seven Psychological Principles of Persuasive Design by Victor Yocco

Design for the Mind:Seven Psychological Principles of Persuasive Design by Victor Yocco

DESCRIPTION The days of purely aesthetic design are long gone. Today’s web designers are driven by pertinent questions like these: How will I win the battle of the short attention span? How do I put visitors at ease and provide the information they're consciously (and unconsciously) expecting? How will the design of my site encourage users to engage, browse, or buy? There’s a body of tested psychological principles that can transform digital designs by anticipating and benefiting from how human beings react to stimuli. This scientific approach to the decision making process, attitudes to risk and reward, group influence, and more are a treasure trove ready to be applied to the field of website design.   Design for the Mind teaches web designers and developers how to create sites and applications that appeal to our innate natural responses as humans. The book introduces the most immediately relevant and applicable psychological concepts, breaks down each theory into easily-digested principles, then shows how they can be used to create powerful designs. The idea is not to produce a use-by-rote set of patterns for digital persuasion, but to deepen the understanding of why people react in the way they do to design features and approaches. After reading the book, readers should be equipped to make their work more psychologically friendly, engaging, and persuasive.     KEY SELLING POINTS   Provides insight into creating powerful user focused design     Approachable to readers at all stages of their careers   Empowers readers to think critically   AUDIENCE Web designers, UX designers, Technical architects and anyone involved in customer facing digital products will benefit from the book.   ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Understanding psychological theory as it applies to digital design allows those studying to become or currently working on design teams to enhance the effectiveness of their craft, speak about how their decisions are informed by psychological theories and research, and improve the likelihood that their product will engage users as intended.
