The Elements of User Experience
User-Centered Design for the Web
A clear model of what user experience actually is.
The Elements of User Experience lays out a five-plane model, from abstract strategy to concrete surface, that explains how the pieces of a user experience fit together. Garrett gives non-specialists a vocabulary and mental framework for thinking about UX decisions in sequence. The slim book became a foundational reference for the field.
Founders making product and design calls need a shared map of how strategy turns into something users touch, and Garrett supplies exactly that in a single readable model. It helps a small team avoid jumping to visual details before settling scope, structure, and strategy.
