The Art of Interactive Design


by Chris Crawford

Book News, Inc. talks about The Art of Interactive Design: A Euphonious and Illuminating Guide to Building Successful Software:
      "Former computer game developer Crawford, in a work written for designer of interactive products, discusses the theories and principles of interactive design in a discursive style. Throughout, he points to common mistakes in design and offers advice in improving design processes."

The Columbus Dispatch says:
      "Crawford's breezy, conversational style makes it easy to grasp the fundamentals and the theoretical underpinnings of interactivity..."

Chris CrawfordÕs writing makes for fascinating and idea-inspiring reading that encourages readers to think about design in new ways as they grow to better understand the process and characteristics of what makes things interactive.
