I read this as a supplemental book for a design class but sadly I can’t say it was that helpful。 First， like many books related to technology， it’s sadly quite dated even though the publication date is not that far in the past。 It has references to Nokia phones and instructions for creating animations using Adobe Flash。 I was hoping for more concrete tips for improving my crappy sketching skills and there were none to be found。 Bummer。

Fantastic overview of UXWhile this book was required reading for a class， it was very helpful for constructing both a group project and an individual UX prototype for a Mobile app I am working on。

Hello， this is not a ding in this book。 I picked it up prior to starting a UX bootcmapmand didnt get through it before starting my program。 Needless to say I was too busy as a UX student to do the boot camp and learn through this book at the same time。 The book has some valuable insight and will serve as refrence book for me。

The book was nice and gave good advice for people， who don't draw。 For those who do on a regular basis - I'm not sure if it's that useful。 The book was nice and gave good advice for people， who don't draw。 For those who do on a regular basis - I'm not sure if it's that useful。 。。。more

I get excited by any book with "workbook" in its title （also， "Teach Yourself"）。 This one is satisfyingly hands-on， with a lot of encouragement to experiment and sketch from the start。 It is attractively laid out and fun to flip through。 I read this for a course on "Web Usability"， and the assignment where we got to sketch a possible re-design of a website， using techniques in this book， was one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire class。 Fun！ I found section 4。4 on "The Narrative Storyboar I get excited by any book with "workbook" in its title （also， "Teach Yourself"）。 This one is satisfyingly hands-on， with a lot of encouragement to experiment and sketch from the start。 It is attractively laid out and fun to flip through。 I read this for a course on "Web Usability"， and the assignment where we got to sketch a possible re-design of a website， using techniques in this book， was one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire class。 Fun！ I found section 4。4 on "The Narrative Storyboard"） to be very useful。Other than that， however， the book really seems most useful to someone who does design and prototyping for a living。 I gave it three stars because most of it wasn't useful to me - but others might get more out of it。 。。。more

Disappointed by how little of this book actually had to do with sketching。

A must-have for any user experience designers who want to learn or improve sketching skills。 Methods such as 10-plus-10， hybrid sketches， storyboard are visually illustrated and guided step-by-step， making the book very easy to follow。

Yunju Chen ，

Some useful tips about sketching and the tools。 A good intro book for graphic designer who wants to learn ux， and ux designer who wants to learn sketch。

Charlie ，

Starter book for interaction design

Morten ，

Great book with lots of visuals and practical exercises。

Davidkjelkerud ，

Good overview of UI sketching techniques。 Lots of exercises included。 I found the pen+paper chapters most valuable ��� the advanced tools part felt a little outdated。 Great if you're an UI designer and want to improve your sketching skills。 Good overview of UI sketching techniques。 Lots of exercises included。 I found the pen+paper chapters most valuable ��� the advanced tools part felt a little outdated。 Great if you're an UI designer and want to improve your sketching skills。 。。。more
