A review by stackx
The Design of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman
3.0
Read for the Popsugar 2019 Challenge: A book you meant to read in 2018
Whew, I did it! I started this book back in November with the intention of finishing it in 2018, but wow was it difficult to get through. As other reviews have stated, for a book about design it was poorly designed. From long chapters to large chunks of text that featured a stream of consciousness way of writing, it was very hard to digest in a timely manner. However, having gone through it all, Norman did bring up many useful considerations that designers should have when working on products or going about daily life. I imagine that I will continue to use this book as a reference for years to come.
