Can recommend these two books: The Design of Everyday Things and The Non-Designer's Design Book.
TDoET will teach you about usability and designing for that. TNDDB will give you a vocabulary for design (much like design patterns give a common vocabulary for code problems, this does for design IMO).
- facepalm 12y agoThanks. I already have the second one and it's great. But it doesn't make me a designer. I'd like a course like the Coursera MOOCs that walks me through the steps (most importantly, makes me practice with homework on a regular schedule). Also the mundane details - what tools to use, for example (software, hardware). To be fair I think there was actually a MOOC by the author of The Design of Everyday Things. I was signed up, but ended up not having the time :-(
