Designing for People
I know nothing about formally trained industrial design, yet I know many products could use the advice outlined in Dreyfuss' approach to his craft.
While socially dated, this was a fascinating look into the mind of a brilliant industrial designer. I read the 1967 edition which contains an additional chapter updating Dreyfuss' predictions from the 1955 original. While we may not have ended up with rocket powered mail delivery systems, he made a bunch of fairly accurate predictions about travel, computers, video conferencing, and improvements in the home.
This ebook edition was about the worst thing I've ever tried to read in terms of errors and typos. I'm certain this was converted via some OCR software that no one bothered to spend the time to correct, it's a bit of a shame since the insightful material is worth more than this lackluster presentation.
