It’s heading towards winter (obligatory reference), and that means less stuff outside (no more painting/varnishing large pieces this year), and more reading. I’ve got a large reading list in general, but here’s my current list of design reading. some of these I’ve read before and will be refreshers, some are new. You’ll notice a lot of “A Book Apart” on here; they really do make nice little books on important web design topics.
- HTML 5 for Web Designers
- Responsive Web Design
- Designing for Emotion – this is a new one for me that I’m really interested in, by the lead designer for MailChimp
- Mobile First
- Design is a Job
- SASS for Web Designers
- Just Enough Research
- On Web Typography
- Beyond Trend (How to innovate in an over-designed world) – another one I’m really interested in, and the only book on my list that isn’t “A Book Apart” book. It’s got so-so reviews, but I’m still interested in what it has to say.
I’ll try to get reviews of these up as I get through them. (Full disclosure: if ever someone would click though to Amazon thru my site and buy something – which has never happened – I’d get a commission. Personally, I got Beyond Trend at the Dollar Tree.)
