Free Ebook: Web UI Design for the Human Eye (Layout Patterns & Typography)

Should you use Lorem Ipsum, or real content in your designs? What are some effective patterns for laying your site for users? And how can you create a visual language through typography?

The free e-book by UXPin answers these types of questions regarding emphasizing content in your web UI design. Because vision is the user’s strongest sense and users visit sites for their content, it’s safe to assume that every interface must prioritize content.

The 5 chapters covers:

• How to design for visual and written content even if they’re not finalized.


• How to use the F and Z Patterns to capture the attention of people browsing the web.


• How to apply typography to enhance the content and overall UI design.


• Case studies (and visuals) from 27 companies including Amazon, TED, AirBnB, Hulu, Abduzeedo and more.

The book is written in a straightforward, example-driven format. The authors favor real-world application over dry theory.
