Business Week has named Don Norman as one of the world's most influential designers. He has been both a professor and an executive: he was Vice President of Advanced Technology at Apple; his company, the Nielsen Norman Group, helps companies produce human-centered products and services; he has been on the faculty at Harvard, the University of California, San Diego, Northwestern University, and KAIST, in South Korea. He is the author of many books, including The Design of Everyday Things, The Invisible Computer (MIT Press, 1998), Emotional Design, and The Design of Future Things.
If only today’s technology were simpler! It’s the universal lament, but it’s wrong. We don't want simplicity. Simple tools are not up to the task. The world is complex; our tools need to match that complexity.
Simplicity turns out to be more complex than we thought. In this provocative and informative book, Don Norman writes that the complexity of our technology must mirror the complexity and richness of our lives. It’s not complexity that’s the problem, it’s bad design. Bad design complicates things unnecessarily and confuses us. Good design can tame complexity.
Norman gives us a crash course in the virtues of complexity. But even such simple things as salt and pepper shakers, doors, and light switches become complicated when we have to deal with many of them, each somewhat different. Managing complexity, says Norman, is a partnership. Designers have to produce things that tame complexity. But we too have to do our part: we have to take the time to learn the structure and practice the skills. This is how we mastered reading and writing, driving a car, and playing sports, and this is how we can master our complex tools.
Complexity is good. Simplicity is misleading. The good life is complex, rich, and rewarding—but only if it is understandable, sensible, and meaningful.

评分我没有看过《设计心理学》和《设计心理学3:情感设计》,这本2是随便挑的。读起来不累,只是有点絮絮叨叨,信息量不够大。还有这本书有一个比较别扭的地方,很多内容中引用的图片总是放在下一页。结果让人不知道是应该坚持看完这一页的内容呢,还是应该先去下一页看图再翻回来...

评分对简单与复杂迷思的最强音。必读!
评分诺曼大爷写书越写越啰嗦,很多东西翻来覆去的讲也未点透具体方法。本书比较新颖的观点是接受世界复杂的本质,不是越简单越好,simplicity不代表usability。人们本来就接受了世界是complex的,是有很多feature的,设计师通过合理的运用structure,affordances,signifiers把产品或服务组织的让用户可以理解,而不是直接展示复杂让用户感到complicated,confused。算是对现如今极简设计风潮的另一种辩证思考。我觉得诺曼大爷是透过简约设计表象对简约与复杂有了更进一步理解,不过真是絮絮叨叨。正如本书所说,他做到了start strong, 但是middle和end真是weak。以后还是少看点设计书籍,多了解人、社会与生活这些设计源头的东西。
评分学校竟然让我们开学前读这么那啥的书。

评分从Don Norman的书里面学到的核心思想是:好的design源于观察生活。当然还是它早期的书感觉更powerful。。。
