Although numerous sources document aspects of user-centered design, there are few references that consider how a designer transforms the information gathered about users and their work into an effective user interface design. This book explains just how designers bridge that gap. A group of leading experts in GUI design describe their methods in the context of specific design projects, and while the projects, processes, and methods vary considerably, the common theme is building a bridge between user requirements and user interface design.

Multiple Bridges,
By PegwukGuy "PegwukGuy" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: User Interface Design: Bridging the Gap from User Requirements to Design (Hardcover)
This is a compendium of papers delivered at an HCI design conference held in 1998. The papers are essentially descriptions of how the speakers addressed the issue of bridging from requirements to an HCI designl.As a review of what people are doing to try to address this issue, this is an important and useful book. As a critial comparative analysis of what are the best methods and why, it is not.
