1. Nice Reading list..  I’m glad to see that I own most of those books. Just need to get a hand on the Comics book.

   I may be interested in a MFA, do you have any scholarships for international designers?

1. Honestly, I think Moggridge’s book does more harm than good to the history of IxD. At the very least it displays a worrying conflict of interest by putting IDEO at the center of “IxD History” without revealing that Moggridge was a founder of that company. I wrote a long review of DI here a couple years ago:

1. @Ben: The department distributes partial merit-based scholarships to students entering the fall 2009 semester. They’re not limited to international students, however. The receivers of the scholarships are chosen based on the submitted MFA in Interaction Design applications, and no additional forms are necessary. Just send me a note for more information.

1. Fantastic list! Thank you for posting this. I’m glad to see that some I have read, while many I haven’t. And still more sitting on my bookshelf — unread — waiting for me to get to it.

1. Another information design book, which is out of print unfortunately, but a classic nonetheless, is The Semiology of Graphics. Not an easy read, and rather pricey, it was the basis of my information design classes at IIT, albeit in photocopy form as it was out of print even in the late 80s.

1. Colin Ware’s books, Information Visualization and Visual Thinking for Design are both excellent.  They would fit in the Information Design category.

1. Listing two books might help you
   Interaction Design (Paperback)
   by Jenny Preece (Author)

   Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design

   Thank you

1. A book I found to be inspirational (and super convenient to carry around) is John Maeda’s Law of Simplicity. It’s a quick 100-page read about making things simple, but not simpler.

1. Nice list. I really enjoy reading books of Donald Norman and Alan Cooper. I think many interaction designers recognize the topics they discuss but I consider them as one of the first ones putting these topics on the agenda.

1. Great list! ... I would consider adding ‘Being Digital’ By Nicholas Negroponte

   Posted by Graphic Design on 06/04/09 @ 6:13am #

1. This is indeed a great list for people who are interested in graphic design. Personally I’d have added a couple of photoshop resources too. I think it’s hard nowadays to be a pro at the digital design field without proper knowledge of PS.

1. Designing for people by Henry Dreyfuss is one of my favorite design related books, I’ve read it a couple of years ago when I was a real newbie in the world of design, and this book gave me a lot of great ideas, and it also covers the fundamentals of design.
