Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design

Try to learn and understand design as a discipline before going into the specifics of user interfaces and interaction design. For that I recommend: - Universal Principles of Design - William Lidwell - The Design of Everyday Things - Donald A. Norman Then for more practical knowledge: - Forms that Work: Designing Web Forms for Usability - Caroline Jarrett - Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability - Steve Krug - Designing the Obvious: A Common Sense Approach to Web & Mobile Application Design - Robert Hoekman Jr. - Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design - Bill Buxton
