This is not a cookbook, but a book on basic principles focusing on elegance and simplicity; scale, contrast and proportion; organization and visual structure; module and program; image and representation; and style. I find it ironic that their book cover looks so bad in miniature. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Though this is not particularly about designing GUIs, I love this book. It was like meeting somebody else who understood my frustration with the ineptness in the design of user interfaces for computer programs, household appliances and just about anything mechanical. He grabbed ill-formed ideas out of my mind and laid them clearly on paper. A classic. The principles behind creating simple, useful, easy to understand appliances. Much of this thinking also applies to computer programs. This is a great read, highly entertaining. This book is sold under three alternate ISBNS: paperback:978-0-465-06710-7, 978-0-465-05065-9, 978-0-385-26774-8. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
