Review of Simple Web Sites: Organizing Content-Rich Web Sites into Simple Structures [ILLUSTRATED] (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of case studies, like Jakob Nielsen's Homepage Usability. The explanations from one chapter to another tends to be repetitive, and not all of the 24 websites are really-really cool, BUT unlike Jakob's book that just attempted to make long distance intepretations, this glossy hard cover book takes us into the design processes complete with each designers' thinkings, from the early paper sketches, the sitemaps, and the final screenshots. And those insights are good enough for me buy this book.

Review of The Best of Newspaper Design 29 (v. 29) (Hardcover)

It is not very often one can find a design book where almost every page will pause the reader. The Best of Newspaper Design series are such books.

In this issue are the winning entries and nominated newspaper designs for 2007. Award categories include overall design, news, features, portfolio, special sections, magazine, art and illustration, photography, information graphics (infographics), and redesigns.

As with other books in the same series, the quality of work showcased in this book is high. It's hard to explain the visuals inside so I've included a video

Designers who work for newspapers should find this book useful for reference and inspiration.

There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.
