2. UI Design Book Review: “Designing for the Greater Good”
I recently received a preview copy of “Designing for the Greater Good.” by Peleg Top & Jonathan Cleveland. This is a hard bound coffee table size book full of non-profit design examples.

About Me
The idea for this design blog first came about two years ago at SXSW Interactive. Currently UI Design guide is in its fourth redesign. This site takes quite a bit of time to maintain as well as write the content. Just like UI Design, this site is a passion that keeps evolving.
Inside, I cover articles on many topics icluding: lessons, prototyping methods, agile UX methods, design reviews, design challenges, application features, and of course design experiences, just to name a few.
With all the blogs out there you may be asking yourself who are you to give advice? That's a fair question. If you have a moment feel free to read about my design history.
