Here is my weekly reading reviews:
Don’t Make Me Think!
A Common Sense Approach To Web Usability.
by STEVE KRUG
This article is about how we use the web and how we pick up information, really. I guess I totally agree on Chapter 2, where we as human beings do really scan things around us, especially when we surf the net and are in a hurry to finding our intended information. And once we found it I am sure some of us still scan through it, or for those who really need the information, we read them thoroughly. =)
It is an informative article on designing a webpage or website. However, at this point of time this reading is just an informative piece of article for me to read and absorb it (Who knows I might need it one day!). Unless, my group wants to do some website thingy that encompasses my whole group progress and stuff. Yes, it would be great and we are thinking of it.
Understanding Design
by KEES DORST
I find this reading very useful as it is relevant to every design project that I do. With the explanation of the first steps of designing, the complications, the ups and downs of designing, the nightmares and the reflections. I guess it helped me understand more about the design work and lectures that I have went to over this pass one and a half years.
