Review: Universal Principles of Design, Revised and Updated: 125 Ways to Enhance Usability, Influence Perception, Increase Appeal, Make Better Design Decisions, and Teach through Design
Crítica de los usuarios - Dan - GoodreadsGood, but somehow still disappointing. I like the two-pages per principle approach and the coverage is good. Somehow though, I think I was hoping for more. Still, well worth a look and I'll be keeping ... Leer comentario completo
This book took my love affair with design and sealed the deal. It is exactly what it says it is, and is worth every penny. While art is subjective and everyone's a critic, design is different, relying on rules and guidelines that lead to more frequent success, and so this book provides both beginning and lifetime designers with a reliable set of universal principles that can improve the outcome of any project. If things aren't going so well, you can literally open this book to any page and apply that principle to your project and improve its design. Or if you start losing your edge, you can do the same and start to feel like a smart designer again.
