I’ve been struggling with finding a book which would be filled with information that was new, something that was eye opening and could change the way I think or work. And I finally found one, which allowed to me to get new perspective on probably the most important aspect of being a designer.
<h3>Being a great communicator.</h3>
<img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/360/1*Jo_xM_2YfehHkWrSH47y0Q.png"><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Articulating-Design-Decisions-Communicate-Stakeholders/dp/1491921560">Articulating Design Decisions: Communicate with Stakeholders, Keep Your Sanity, and Deliver the Best User Experience</a> by Tom Greever.
Being able to talk about design in a way that suits different kind of people is in most of the cases more important than the designs you’re creating. As the book description says “simply because the most articulate person usually wins”.
There are so many books focused on the research patterns, what UX is or is not, but if you really think about it even if you put all these to use but you cant communicate your ideas or thought process — you’re not going to go far with it.
I highly recommend that you read the book yourself instead of me listing out “top 10” tips, you’ll get much more out of it that way.
Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of books that can improve your skills as a designer by reading stuff like Power of habit, Hard thing about hard things, Creativity Inc. But this book directly solves an every day problems of a designer.
If you were to recommend one book you’ve read recently, what would that book be? Leave your answer in comments below.
