Acknowledgments
It took far more than just two people to bring this book to life. We’d like to thank:
• Morgan-Kaufmann employees past and present: Meg Dunkerley, Robyn Day, Heather Scherer, and Steve Elliot, who took Visual Usability from concept to the printed and digital page; and Rachel Roumeliotis, who first contacted us about turning a Boston CHI seminar presentation into this book.
• Our reviewers for both the book proposal and the book itself, who sent invaluable comments about how to shape the final manuscript: Cynthia Baron, Ted Booth, Vanessa DiMauro, Antony Donovan, Frank Gruger, Chad Jennings, Jennifer McPhilimy, Aaron Oppenheimer, Sharon Poggenpohl, Louis Weitzman, and Blake Winton.
• Gretchen McClure, who worked tirelessly and cheerfully on the SuperTracker redesign.
• Kurt Fendt, Maz Kessler, Kara Parsons, and Matt Sigelman, for their additional support.
Tania would also like to thank her family, Tom, Luke, and Otelia, for their encouragement and enthusiasm; Debby, whose patience I tested on numerous occasions, but whose support and indulgence made the book possible; and our clients, who enable us to practice, learn, and further develop our skills and expertise.
Debby would like to thank her patient spouse, Todd Belton, for support, read-through, and martinis; Tania, for putting up with me and being the creative force behind this book; Stacey Becker, Bill Coderre, Francis Heaney, and Judy Keys for supplying screenshots, links, and editorial backup brains; and her family, friends, Twitter followers, LJ flist, and fellow Suspects for their assistance and encouragement.
