If only today’s technology were simpler! It’s the universal lament, but it’s wrong. We don't want simplicity. Simple tools are not up to the task. The world is complex; our tools need to match that complexity.

Simplicity turns out to be more complex than we thought. In this provocative and informative book, Don Norman writes that the complexity of our technology must mirror the complexity and richness of our lives. It’s not complexity that’s the problem, it’s bad design. Bad design complicates things unnecessarily and confuses us. Good design can tame complexity.

Norman gives us a crash course in the virtues of complexity. But even such simple things as salt and pepper shakers, doors, and light switches become complicated when we have to deal with many of them, each somewhat different. Managing complexity, says Norman, is a partnership. Designers have to produce things that tame complexity. But we too have to do our part: we have to take the time to learn the structure and practice the skills. This is how we mastered reading and writing, driving a car, and playing sports, and this is how we can master our complex tools.

Complexity is good. Simplicity is misleading. The good life is complex, rich, and rewarding—but only if it is understandable, sensible, and meaningful.

内容应该是不错。 我之所以说应该,是因为里面的文字实在是难以理解 文字难以理解不是因为晦涩难懂 而是,这翻译的也太烂了吧!看起来就是用谷歌翻译然后调整了一下,感觉就是我高中做翻译时的感觉啊! 里面用的词让人摸不到头脑,每句话读着都那么别扭 不明白为什么这么一本畅...

如果你在寻找一套网站设计理论书籍,那么就把诺曼的设计系列丛书买齐好了。这是不二的选择。 看living with complexity会有巨大的实际好处,当你不知道如何处理上司的指令时,比如要简洁? 要这个功能那个功能?诺曼会这么告诉他~ “人们在复杂程度上有一个偏好范围,太简单...

第二册主要关注“复杂”这个词,简单的对立面不是复杂,而是「费解」。复杂是世界的状态,而且是常态,糟糕的设计不是太复杂,而是令人困惑的复杂。所以对设计师而言,重要的是驯服复杂,less is more的less不是少和简单,而是管理得很好的复杂让使用者不再困惑。 ·复杂的事物...

“We need two sets of principles for managing complexity: one for design, one for coping. In the end, the rules all evolve around communication and feedback.”

诺曼大爷写书越写越啰嗦,很多东西翻来覆去的讲也未点透具体方法。本书比较新颖的观点是接受世界复杂的本质,不是越简单越好,simplicity不代表usability。人们本来就接受了世界是complex的,是有很多feature的,设计师通过合理的运用structure,affordances,signifiers把产品或服务组织的让用户可以理解,而不是直接展示复杂让用户感到complicated,confused。算是对现如今极简设计风潮的另一种辩证思考。我觉得诺曼大爷是透过简约设计表象对简约与复杂有了更进一步理解,不过真是絮絮叨叨。正如本书所说,他做到了start strong, 但是middle和end真是weak。以后还是少看点设计书籍,多了解人、社会与生活这些设计源头的东西。
