Book recommendation
I got asked today by a Visual Designer about books that might help to understand interaction design..I thought I'd share my list and open up the discussion for other recommended reading:
Some basic, how to stuff:
Universal Principles of Design is a great tome on layout and how people think
Designing Interactions – Bill Moogridge
Designing for Interaction, Dan Safer
Theory
The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman is one of the books I love about the subject of Behavioral Design
Maeda @ Media
Data Flow
Beautiful Evidence, Edward Tufte
Hardcore Gestalt Theory - (the stuff that never made sense to me in Design School but now I use everyday)
Grid Systems in Graphic Design/Raster Systeme Fur Die Visuele Gesta...
Massive Change – Bruce Mau
S, M, L, XL – Bruce Mau with Rem Koolhaus
Design Yourself – Karim Rashid (this is just a VERY cool book... All designers should have it)
