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 simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time.
In this entertaining and insightful analysis, cognitive scientist Donald A. Norman hails excellence of design as the most important key to regaining the competitive edge in influencing consumer behavior. Now fully expanded and updated, with a new introduction by the author, The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how—and why—some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
Don Norman is co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group, an executive consulting firm that helps companies produce human-centered products and services. He is Breed Professor of Design Emeritus at Northwestern University and Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, where he was founding chair of the Department of Cognitive Science and chair of the Department of Psychology. He has served as Vice President of Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group, and his many books include "Emotional Design," "The Design of Future Things," and most recently, "Living with Complexity."
对于设计人员,看这本书能从书知道设计的目标在哪里,怎么样去进行设计,里面的思想是很有哲学性的,在那个时代适用,在现在也还适用。我们发现有些产品在几年的时间都没有过改进,真应该好好想一想了。在一些老员工看来,一个产品几年都不曾变过,原来想着去改进的地方还在那...
评分我一度是个实用派,很排斥阅读设计理论类书籍,因为实在觉得,在我达到那种level之前,给我灌输各种故弄玄虚的世界观毫无意义,听了半天觉得很牛逼但是也没法和实际操作接轨。所以即使要读书也无非是《photoshop实用技法》一类的东西---即使读这类书也不如找几个熟手在关键技术...
评分不过,它和下面这本书是同一本书,小心不要买重。 The Design of Everyday Things http://otho.douban.com/lpic/s1915036.jpg 上一个版本译做《设计心理学》,两个版本的书名翻译都很诡异。 不过书是好书,绝对绝对的好书。读了就知道什么叫差距,80年代别人提出的观点你现在...
评分设计者需要把自己融入到所设计产品的视角上,把自己变成产品、把产品变成自己,然后构想和使用者之间的对话和互动。 跟人人互动一样,人机互动也是有初始条件的:作为产品的用户是有某些约束条件的,这些约束条件包括认知习惯、身体条件等、能进行高度场景非标准化的沟通;作...
评分书送过来,翻完了目录,发现上当了。 在最新的序言结束前,编者在后面羞答答地写了一行字:本书中文版第1版于2002年出版,书名为《设计心理学》。 这本叫《好用型设计》的狗屎,跟以前不同的有三点: 【1】只是书的名字变了(还是同一个译者); 【2】新增了一篇...
时隔20多年更新自己的经典作品,这件事情已经很让人敬佩。
评分是有很多有趣的观点让人很受启发,而且在去英国玩之前刚好在读这本书以至于在旅行途中会格外关注而更加能欣赏英国公共场所各种标识和设施设计的巧妙便利,也让各种让人无力吐槽的水龙头变得更加乍眼。从让人拓宽视野,用不同的角度看世界这个方面来评判,是一本值得阅读的好书,尤其是我也没怎么读过设计的书,满以为设计都是以审美为基础的狭义的设计。读过这本书之后,才耳目一新。可是阅读体验实在说不上享受,自己大概也是急性子,而这本书则事无巨细的写很多细节实例,通过各种语言,图片全方位描绘说明某种汽车上一个仪表盘的设计有多么糟糕。书里满是这样的细碎的实例,每次读一会儿自己的耐心就消磨殆尽,所以终于也还是没有读完。
评分all time classic.
评分有些理念看似基础,但没有被点醒之前自己是不会注意到的
评分封面设计最好的一版
