Design for User-Friendly Graphics de-mystifies the elements of good interface design through in-depth looks at 18 different designers who have successfully made the connection between design and customer. From these case studies you'll discover the five golden rules of interface design; how to meet the demands of speed-demon Web surfers; how to generate return visits with a truly different Web interface; the secret to making corporate annual reports lively; how book design can mirror its readers; product design that combines form and function; and how successful environmental design can turn crowds into consumers.

Good read for a ground-up thinking method: considering the user first. Based on case studies for web, print, product and environment. I particularly enjoyed the case studies on Hammermill Paper's tradeshow exhibit, Sagmeister Inc.'s CD cases and Volkswagon's Turbonite website. The book is bit dated, which explains why I found it so cheap at a sidewalk sale. For example, the computer graphics are not up to current standards, the cell phone example is a high-tech brick, the Turbonite commercials and website are several years old and CDs are less in fashion now.
