Review: The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman
I don’t have much to say about this book. Originally called The Psychology of Everyday Things, it’s a long musing on the poor design that surrounds us. I found it reasonably interesting, but I think I’d have preferred a more rigorous approach than the loose and chatty style Norman uses. All the same, it’s certainly affected the way I look at things around me and it’s going to have a permanent place on my bookshelf for whenever I’m called upon to design stuff.
