Book Reviews of The Design of Everyday Things
Book Review: "Must Read" for Game Designers
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know all the types of people who would benefit from reading this book, but I have it on my [short] list of "must reads" for game designers. I imagine that anyone who creates things that other people are supposed to use would learn something from this book that would be beneficial.
The author presents principles of design that focus on usability. My only gripe, which is not enough of an issue to warrant less than 5 stars, is that some of the examples the author uses are old and almost outdated.
