Ask HN: Good General Design books?
I have come to realize that design is not partial to any particular product or profession.
It is integral to every good thing on this here earth.
Thinking about the website user, the person who's going to live in the house, the person who's going to drive the car, and the person who's going to use the tool, etc. 7
They are really the same thing when you get down to brass tacks.
So I ask you HN, is there a general design book out there that teaches the aspects of good design in general?
Or is it so straightforward that the only thing required is common sense and a lot of it?
Cheers.
