Donald Norman uses everyday things to illustrate how design can and should be done to making things usable for everyday people. Sometimes things are designed pretty well: push bars on doors for instance. Sometimes not so well: clear doors with no visible cues on whether to push or pull.

(  ) KingRat | Aug 21, 2009 | More than any formulas or facts, what I'm taking away from this famous little book is a sense of authority to judge design of things I use everyday. The following things suck: the dock in OS X, my alarm clock, the knob on my coffee machine, etc. leeinaustin | Jun 14, 2009 | An interesting and engaging study of the principles of functional design. (  ) wulf | Sep 4, 2008 | The second book to read to get into interaction design, right after "The inmates are running the asylum". After reading the book, one cannot help but see all the usability problems which surrounds us in everyday life. ( )1  clyde7 | Mar 8, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
