Description

The Designer's Guide to the Buttons is a richly illustrated, encyclopedia-style book about the history of computer interfaces and a practical guide to building your own design system.

The book is divided into three parts dedicated to desktop, mobile, and spatial interfaces. It covers the evolution of UX/UI design, from pioneering computers like the Xerox Alto and Apple Lisa to cutting-edge devices like the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro.

Featuring more than 500 illustrations from 180 popular apps and platforms, the book explores UI components such as buttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and more. Each chapter examines a specific component in detail, providing dozens of real-world examples, anatomical breakdowns, and best practices for effective use.

The book also includes supplemental materials accessible through QR codes, linking to articles and video tutorials.
