The Design of Everyday Things Indian Ed Revised and Expanded Edition

Design simplicity meets real-world complexities.

If you're curious about why some products feel intuitive while others make you feel lost, this book is for you. Don Norman delves into the principles behind the design of everyday objects and suggests why good design is at the heart of user-friendly experiences. It's an eye-opener for anyone interested in design, psychology, or simply understanding the artifacts that populate our daily lives.

Description

The ultimate guide to human-centered design. Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious -- even liberating -- book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are to make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time. The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how -- and why -- some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
