I never used to be one for books, but that was until my last year as an under-grad when I realised how influential and useful design related books could be to my work. A year and a bit on now, I’ve read loads of books and continue to do so, taking something new from each.
Below is a list of 5 books that I wish I had read sooner than I did, as they have such an impact on my design approach and thinking.
1. Web Standards Solutions
When I read this: October 2006
If you’re a web designer then you should know and be using CSS to design websites by now. If you’re using tables to design websites or just starting off, this is a simple easy to read and understand book for beginners.
2. The Zen of CSS Design
When I read this: November 2006
Nice selection of websites showcasing what is possible using CSS.
3. Design Basics Index
When I read this: February 2007
The basics of design; what and what not to do.
4. Don't Make Me Think
