Josh Clark is the founder of Big Medium, a design agency specializing in connected devices, mobile experiences, and responsive web design for the world's most forward-thinking companies. Josh has written four other books, including Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps (O'Reilly, 2010), and he speaks around the globe on what's next for digital interfaces. In 1996, Josh created an entirely different kind of user interface: the Couch-to-5K (C25K) running schedule, which has helped millions of skeptical exercisers take up jogging. (His motto is the same for fitness as it is for software user experience: no pain, no pain.)
Touchscreens create a fresh physical interface to digital systems-are you ready? Josh offers not only guidance but also inspiration for building new, more intuitive ways to interact with information. -RACHEL HINMAN Author of The Mobile Frontier In this excellent book, Josh keeps it practical: offering rationale behind the guidelines, and curating the info at a level that doesn't bog down or intimidate. -BILL BUXTON Principal researcher with Microsoft Research A magnificent book and a welcome breath of fresh air. It has intelligent design principles, an overall refreshing philosophy for touch and gesture, and excellent examples and illustrations. -DON NORMAN Director of DesignLab at UC San Diego and author of The Design of Everyday Things
