As a developer with design sense who is now both designing and writing iPhone apps, I'm having a hard time finding what to read beyond these kinds of articles. There are lots of Photoshop tutorials out there, but I need some why with my how. Any suggestions?
- jaimzob 16y ago"The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams is the best introductory book I've read. As the title suggests, it covers the fundamentals - proximity, alignment, repetition and contrast - in a really approachable way. It probably won't teach you to make a great design, but it will prevent you from making a bad one.
- brianwillis 16y agoActually, they're presented in the book as Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. Williams jokes in the early chapters that she wanted to find an easy-to-remember acronym for the four central concepts of the book - and boy did she pick a good one. At least it's memorable.
