The Design of Everyday Things
Donald A. Norman
1988 Basic Books
Summary:
Norman covers the topics covered in his previous book, Psychology of Everyday Things, and summarized the topics discussed in the Design of Everyday Things. He reviews conceptual models, mapping, constraints, standardization, and other considerations that go into a well designed product. He concludes by urging the reader to support well designed products and shun poorly designed ones.
Discussion:
Not much new to say here. The chapter was pretty much a rehashing of the previous chapters, so apart from the increased use of anecdotes, nothing really stood out.
