user-interface - UI的艺术方面？

Question

考虑一个按钮。

在一个极端，我们有一个黑色的 OpenGL 窗口，其中：

矩形的轮廓（白色）
位图remdered字体里面，说“好的”

在另一个极端，我们有 Mac OS X，一个按钮是：

圆润的
有一些渐变显示灯光效果
很好的抗锯齿“OK”
某种软阴影

这两个 UI 呈现出非常不同的用户体验。前者说“这是80年代的”，后者说“这是专业的”。

这是我作为程序员不太了解的东西（也不知道在哪里学习）。

有谁知道这方面的良好技术资源？[我更喜欢利用心理学/感知文学来说明为什么要做某事的东西，而不是只说“使用颜色 XYZ 和渐变的 blah”的设计书籍]

Here is something on it. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/indefenseofeyecandy

You can check this link out to answer the part of your query in the comment. It has lots of references to samples and some helpful links too. http://www.usernomics.com/user-interface-design.html

The perception and psychology part of designing the UI does not come as any rule or steps, as we all know. It gets developed over time. Making your application user friendly and pleasing, that part of the magic or deal gets added from experience\survey and also you can include layman testing. I do it many times.

Also thinking out of the box. You will get a solution when solve it within the box. But you will get a better solution when you think out of it.

Another useful thing is be a good learner and observer. Note something nice and useful when you visit sites or use other applications. You might not even notice it. It might be something very small or trivial but it makes a lot of difference when it's used in the right places.
