Laws of UX

Jon Yablonski

beginnerFreemium1 hourLaws of UX

When you need to justify a design decision with more than taste, this gives you the named principle and the research behind it. It is a reference, not a course: bookmark it and reach for it in critique or when explaining a choice to stakeholders. The free site covers the essentials; the book adds depth.

What you will learn

  • Psychology heuristics that predict user behavior
  • Language for defending design decisions

Study first

How to study it

  1. Read it once, then state the single core claim in your own words without looking. If you cannot, you did not read it closely enough yet.
  2. Note one thing you will change in your own work because of it. An article that changes nothing was entertainment, not study.
  3. Revisit it once a week later; the second pass with a gap is where it sticks.
