User experience design is one of the fastest-growing specialties in graphic design. Smart companies realize that the most successful products are designed to meet the needs and goals of real people—the users. This means putting the user at the center of the design process. This innovative, comprehensive book examines the user-centered design process from the perspective of a designer. With rich imagery, Interactive Design introduces the different UX players, outlines the user-centered design process from user research to user testing, and explains through various examples how user-centered design has been successfully integrated into the design process of a variety of design studios worldwide.

Divided into four parts, this title examines commodity racism: representation, racialization and resistance. It presents the interpretive works in the interactionist tradition. It features the essays which interrogate the intersections between biography, media, history, politics and culture.

Olivia Duncan lives a boring, ordinary life. She is home-schooled along with her best friend Conner. Her social activities are limited to Conner, and his grandmother, Gerdie- who just happens to be their teacher. Her father died before she even got to know him. Her single mother, Ann Marie, is the local doctor and has no desire to have a life outside of the clinic. Her worst fears come to light, when she hears screams and wails that wake her from her sleep. When she goes to investigate the noises, she comes across a fishing boat at the source of the sounds. Poachers are thick in this area of the bay, and she doesn't have to guess what these men are up to out here, in the middle of the night. Olivia and her best friend, Conner, come across a bloody scene the next day while out for a walk. She knows where the blood came from, and as she describes the scene to him, a fear bubbles up inside of her. Olivia doesn't ask the question that's been burning in her mind. Conner and his family have been in the fishing business for over three generations. They supply fresh sea food to the local restaurants in town, but they also kill larger game for profit. When an abandoned beluga appears while Olivia is sitting on the dock, they both find a friendship worth fighting for. The friendship that they share over the next three years is filled with laughter, fun, amazement and danger. When Olivia is forced to move, she must leave all hope behind of ever seeing the beluga again. Never, in her wildest dreams did she think that the beluga could find her once more. When the beluga appears with her new pod, Olivia realizes that this is her second chance. She calls in a specialist to help her as she fights to keep them all safe and alive. Olivia Duncan is an ordinary girl, who lives an ordinary life, but finds the chance to save an extraordinary gift.
