Paper Size: B5 Volume:hardcover Paper:bookpaper Language:english Contents: Black and white Cover: Color Description: Even the smartest with us can feel inept as we fail to figure out that light switch or oven burner to turn on, or if to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious -- even liberating -- book, lie note in e, 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 memoryzation. The design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural links 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 true time.
