Books For Learning to Design, The Hard Way
"The non-designer's design book" is really great, I learned a lot from it. It helps to know these things, even though I am a software developer and normally do little to no design work for my clients.<p>Currently I read "Visual Language for Designers" (-) which is also very interesting. It describes how our brain processes visual information and how you can use this to create better (easier to understand) designs.<p>(-) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Language-Designers-Principles-Understand/dp/1592537413/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322229312&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Language-Designers-Principles-U...</a>
