A Pocket Guide to Usability of Web Photos

Photos are the unsung heroes of digital design. They have a huge impact on conversion, user trust, our emotions, and the usability of the digital products and services that we use every day.

In this short book James talks about what usable photos are and why they are important. You’ll find photo-related stories from his own projects and a new framework to evaluate photo usability, as well as ideas on how we can modify the design process to help improve the usability of web photos. You may never think about photos in quite the same way again!
