Reviews
Rhetoric is a natural choice for UX work. --Jakob Nielsen, Nielsen Norman Group, author of Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity I really like the definition of experience architecture. As Potts and Salvo write in their introduction, 'experience architecture requires that we understand ecosystems of activity, rather than simply considering single-task scenarios.' --Donald Norman, Nielsen Norman Group, author of The Design of Everyday Things
