If you are like me, you think of design as primarily what something looks like and secondarily how something works. But you probably don’t think about all the words used in a product as part of the design.
This episode will change your perspective.
I interview Michael Metts and Andy Welfle, co-authors of “Writing is Designing: Words and the User Experience” about how a lack of good word design in products can get users into trouble.
In just one simple example, you know those error messages you get that don’t help you get out of the error or explain what to do next? Someone didn’t design that experience. This is what Michael and Andy do in their book…show you how to design for that experience…among many others.
