Frequently asked questions
If you got any questions, here are the answers
What do I mean by “online book”?
The book is accessible on my online reading platform:
books.dokozero.design. By getting this book, you’ll have unlimited access to it (an account will be created with the email address you’ll use at the time of purchase if you do not have one).
Can I read in offline mode?
This is not possible at the moment, you’ll need an internet connection to read.
Why not a simple PDF file instead?
Unlike a PDF file, the reading platform lets you: get all the updates without having to re-download the PDF, read on mobile and in the dark with the dark mode. In addition, it would require me to use an app with different operating modes to those of the web, and would therefore take me longer to make updates.
How many pages are there in the book?
850 pages. This may sound like a lot, but in reality, the book is rich in illustrations and other captures that are quick to “read”. Moreover, it can be read non-linearly and some sections such as the advanced notions in typography, are not necessarily essential for understanding the rest.
How is the number of pages calculated?
As this is a site, to calculate the number of pages I took the total number of words in the book (206193 words) plus the average number of words per image (955 images × 100 words = 95500 words) then divided the result by the average number of words per page (350 words). This gives us a total of 862 pages, rounded up to 850 pages.
Is the content updated?
One of the main advantages of the reading platform is that it allows me to make updates easily, which is necessary since the field of UI Design evolves rapidly.
Do I have to pay for the updates?
No, once you’ve bought the book, all future updates are free.
Does it make a difference if I take the book in one language or another?
None, there are not several versions, no matter if you get the book from the page of one language or another, you’ll have access to the same content, where you can also change the language freely.
I am already a UX/UI Designer will I still learn things?
That’s quite likely, indeed, in the book I talk about fairly recent points like the OkLCH color model or the APCA standard for contrasts, which are fairly recent notions in UI Design and not necessarily covered in other content on the subject.
But I can find the same information on the internet, right?
For some, yes, but more scattered and not necessarily up to date. With this book, you have a centralized, easily accessible and structured source of knowledge. In addition, there are some relatively exclusive sections, such as the detailed use of the Figma OkColor plugin created in the context of this book.
And if I’m still not satisfied?
No problem, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to get your money back (access to the book will be removed, however).
Who am I?
A computer geek from a young age, I created my first website back when the internet was limited in time and you were greeted by sweet modem music (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you didn’t miss anything, rest assured 😉 ). For the past 10 years or so, I’ve been navigating around web development and UX/UI Design.
